In this article, we will discuss the steps to uninstall Source Tree on Windows 10 machines using Command Prompt (CMD) and PowerShell. This is useful when you need to uninstall Source Tree remotely and simultaneously on multiple machines connected in a network.
Why Uninstall Source Tree Remotely and Simultaneously?
Uninstalling Source Tree remotely and simultaneously is useful in situations where you need to perform maintenance on multiple machines, or when you need to remove Source Tree from a large number of machines quickly and efficiently. This can be done using CMD or PowerShell, which are command-line interfaces that allow you to execute commands on remote machines.

- Press the Windows key + X and select "Command Prompt (Admin)" or "PowerShell (Admin)" from the menu.
- Type the following command and press Enter:
<p>msiexec /x {2E6393F0-8C3F-4687-B915-12F0374C5E5D} /qn</p>This command uninstalls Source Tree silently (without any user interface) using the MSI package identifier.
