How to uninstall Chrome Apps silently with powershell?

Question

Hi,

I'm trying to uninstall silently a Chrome app but i have still the confirmation pop up before uninstall. I have used the following switches but nothing works: --quiet, --q, --silent, --s, --force-uninstall, --qb.

The uninstallation command is "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --profile-directory=Default --uninstall-app-id=cadlkienfkclaiaibeoongdcgmdikeeg.

Do you have an idea?

Thank you for your help.

Regards

Answer 1

Try the following:

chrome.exe --uninstall-app="<APP_ID>" --force-uninstall --silent

AFAIK, this may still trigger a confirmation popup depending on Chrome's security settings.

Hello,

As far as I know , Chrome doesn'tprovide a supported command‐line switch (or PowerShell approach) to hide the confirmation dialog when uninstalling apps via the --uninstall-app-id flag. In other words, the switches you tried (–quiet, –silent, etc.) are not implemented for this purpose.Currently, there isn’t a “silent uninstall” switch for Chrome apps via PowerShell.
