Like suppose that vlc [player](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/62213/name-the-cricketer-who-was-named-as-the-player-of-the-tournament-in-cricket-world-cup-2019) is installed in my system.

There is many way to uninstall program in c#. Firstly you will have to find out GUID of that product then you have to use Process class of System.Diagonostic process to call msi.exe and pass it to start method of Process class. \
Like following example will demonstarte\
Process.Start("msiexec /x {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx}");\
where xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx represents GUID of that application that you want to uninstall.\
\
Thanks.
