How to uninstall Opera with PDQ

Avatar
kevin.brill

Hello,

I am trying to uninstall Opera from our computer and running into a snag. Right clicking on the computer from the collection and selecting uninstall does not accomplish anything. I see the package from PDQ for Opera, but there is not an uninstall package.

Can anyone help me remove this from my endpoints please?

    What is the command line you're using to uninstall Opera?  Is it installed on a per-user basis or machine?

    The application was installed per user I believe. Here is the command line:

    "C:\Users\USER\AppData\Local\Programs\Opera\Launcher.exe" /uninstall

    According to Opera, they disabled the silent uninstall option:

    You might try running that command as the logged on user instead, but you might want to add the /silent option and see if it works.

    Try this but watch the video first. Caution advised and make sure you test it.
