Want to reinstall - doesn't show up under Add / Remove Programs

After the latest update, my PBI Desktop install is acting a little wonky.  

 

Normally I'd just uninstall / reinstall.  But - 

 

  • Power BI isn't showing up under Add / Remove Programs
  • Nor is it showing up in the Microsoft Store as installed (honestly I don't know how the store works, but I thought maybe I'd installed via that - nope). 

 

Is there a guide to manually uninstalling? 

 

 

 

  • Hi mmace1

     

    It should because that you installed an app version:

    Go to start menu>search>power bi >uninstall:

    Did you install using the MSI?

     

    Manual uninstall: C:\Program Files\Microsoft Power BI Desktop, right-click, delete.

      Right, it should be under add / remove programs, but isn't. 

       

      No I installed via the regular .exe/

       

      So just delete the directory + (I assume?) delete anything from the registry with power bi on it?
