      Uninstall iTunes from Windows

      If you’d like to remove iTunes from your Windows computer in the future for whatever reason, you can simply uninstall it like any other software.

From Control Panel

If you used the direct download link to download and install iTunes, then you can use this method to remove iTunes from your Windows PC. However, if you installed it from Microsoft Store, then you need to see the method given in the next section below.

However, additional components may have been installed on your PC alongside iTunes if you used the direct download link, which includes the following:

 

    • Apple Software Update
    • Bonjour
    • Apple mobile support for iTunes

 

If so, you might need to uninstall them individually using steps 2 & 3 above.

From Settings App

If you installed iTunes from Microsoft Store, then you may not see it in the Programs and Features applet. Thus, you must use the given method below to remove it from your PC:

  1. Navigate to:
    Settings app >> Apps >> Installed Apps
  2. Search for “iTunes” and then click on the ellipses (3 dots). 

Click Uninstall.
