How to uninstall Google Earth Pro on Windows
Save places and export any maps or location files you need before removing Google Earth Pro.
Quit the app
Close Google Earth Pro and any work it is running, then use Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) to check for its remaining processes.
Use its uninstaller
Open Settings › Apps › Installed apps, find Google Earth Pro and choose Uninstall. Use the vendor uninstaller rather than deleting its program folder.
winget uninstall --id Google.EarthPro --exact
For this installation, winget invokes the registered removal method. It is not a separate cleanup of user data. Windows may ask for administrator approval.
Check the result
winget list --id Google.EarthPro --exact
Test-Path -LiteralPath "${env:USERPROFILE}\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth" -ErrorAction Stop
Read winget's result as well as its exit status: an explicit no-installed-package result concerns only this package, while a source, access or query error leaves the answer unknown. A successful Test-Path returning True means that exact location remains; False means it is absent. Neither result checks other paths. The commands do not delete anything.
What Mole lists
| Location | Item | Default |
|---|---|---|
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\Google\GoogleEarth |
Settings or app data; review before removal | Listed but not selected |
%ProgramData%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Google Earth Pro.lnk |
Shortcut | Selected by default |
%PUBLIC%\Desktop\Google Earth Pro.lnk |
Shortcut | Selected by default |
HKCU\SOFTWARE\Google\Google Earth Pro |
Registry entry | Listed but not selected |
Mole listed GoogleEarth data under LocalLow and the Earth Pro settings key for review, plus two shortcuts. HKCU\Software\Google\GECommonSettings is shared by Google Earth editions and was retained. The run does not verify a real saved-places collection.
These defaults assume Remove data and settings with apps is off. Explicit Select all or Also remove user data can include the listed personal-data rows. Check the selection before confirming. Selected files that Mole removes go to the Recycle Bin; selected registry entries are backed up before removal. The vendor uninstaller has its own deletion behavior.
What this test covered
Recorded on 2026-10-20: Google Earth Pro, version 7.3.7.1327, machine-wide, MSI, winget package Google.EarthPro. The evidence comes from an ARM64 Windows test environment and a development build of Mole. It does not certify the current downloadable package or removal of real signed-in accounts, synchronized data or production projects.
