Windows 10: Uninstall Onenote - Here's how

The OneNote note app is pre-installed in Windows 10. In this article we show how you can uninstall the program.

Uninstall OneNote on Windows 10

OneNote cannot be uninstalled on Windows 10 like other apps by right-clicking on the tile. Instead, you have to intervene in the system via the so-called powershell:

1. Press the key combination [Windows] + [R] so that the Run dialog opens.
2. Enter the "powershell" command there and confirm with [Enter]. Windows Powershell starts. This is an alternative command line program from Microsoft that works like CMD.
3. In the blue window, enter the command "Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Office.Onenote | Remove-AppxPackage" without quotation marks and confirm with [Enter].
4. After a short time, OneNote is completely uninstalled and you can close the Powershell.

Windows 10: Reinstall OneNote

If you want to reinstall OneNote at a later time, this is not a problem:

1. To do this, click on the Windows icon at the bottom right and open the "Microsoft Store" from the Start menu.
2. In the Microsoft Store, type "OneNote" in the search field at the top right and confirm with [Enter].
3. Select the app of the same name and click the "Install" button to reinstall OneNote.
