Hello,
I installed Deezer some time ago, and I want to uninstall it but, surprise, I can't find it either with the "programs and features" function in Windows 10 or with "total uninstall."
Does anyone have a tip?
Thank you

Hello,
No one has offered me a simple solution to properly uninstall DEEZER. According to Deezer support, it is possible provided you purchase the "total uninstall" version which allows it. I emailed Deezer, received a lot of responses about buying this or that, or opening or canceling an account, but no concrete answer about uninstalling yet.
DEEZER, the unwanted, invasive, dishonest friend.
I tried "Programs and Features" in Windows 10, and the free version of "Total uninstall" that I downloaded, but neither of these 2 applications could detect it.
I had to search through the hard drives in detail to find its hideout in 2 folders: WindowsApps and "WpSystem".
Of course, the "uninstall" file does not exist.
So I will have to delete this Deezer manually, which I cannot promote. There are so many other ways to listen to, and legally record, music from the Internet without being overwhelmed by ads.

Deezer is an app from the app store.
To uninstall it, open a command window with Admin rights.
Type Powershell
then, when Powershell is open, we need to know the exact name of the Deezer package, for that type:
Get-AppxPackage | where {$_.name -match "deezer"}
in what appears, find the line PackageFullName
After that, type
Remove-AppxPackage Deezer.62021768415AF_3.3.1.0_x64__q7m17pa7q8kj0
(adapt the line with your packagefullname name, if it is not the same)
This can also be done in a single Powershell line, like this
Get-AppxPackage | where {$_.name -match "deezer"} | Remove-AppxPackage -
Hello and thank you,
Thank you for your message, but the issue with uninstalling Deezer is resolved. Deezer then "flooded" me with emails, and I had to add their address to my anti-spam to be at peace.
Thanks again,
