How do I uninstall Wolfram?
In order to uninstall Mathematica, Wolfram Desktop, Wolfram|Alpha Notebook Edition and/or Wolfram Finance Platform, uninstall the Wolfram application from your computer.
If you would like to remove one of these products from your machine but keep any of the others, remove the specific product license in the Preferences menu without uninstalling the Wolfram application.
