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?
