How to Uninstall-Module of older version
Short answer:
You can't that uninstall something with PowerShellGet
if it wasn't installed with PowerShellGet
.
Long answer:
PowerShellGet v1.0.0.1
was installed as a part of Windows, and not using PowerShellGet
(naturally). Hence, why you can't use PowerShellGet
to Uninstall-Module
it.
PowerShellGet v2.2
on the other hand, is installed with PowerShellGet
and so you can Uninstall-Module
it. You can also update it etc.
If you really want to uninstall the v1.0.0.1 version, you have to follow these Steps:
- Browse to
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\
- Go into
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PowershellGet
folder, and delete the sub- folder1.0.0.1
- Then do the same for
C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PackageManagement
, delete the sub-folder1.0.0.1
