How to uninstall Miro on Windows

This record covers Miro 0.11.168, installed per user through Miro.Miro. Close the app, then remove it from Windows Installed apps.

Close the app

Close the app window and tray entry, then check Task Manager (Ctrl+Shift+Esc) for Miro.exe.

Data and settings

Back up these folders when keeping local data or settings. data for review them only after deciding they are no longer needed; a surviving data folder does not mean the uninstall failed.

Uninstall with winget

winget uninstall --id Miro.Miro --exact

The --id and --exact options are documented in Microsoft’s uninstall reference.

Check the result

Get-Process -Name 'Miro' -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
winget list --id Miro.Miro --exact
Test-Path "$env:APPDATA\RealtimeBoard"

No process output means only that the process is not running. A completed winget query with no match means this package is no longer listed; a query error does not prove removal. Test-Path returns True when the data folder remains and False when that path is absent. True is expected when keeping data.

What Mole lists

The review uses the measured installation name RealtimeBoard to locate the program and data folders. The program folder, shortcuts and app-owned protocol registration are selected; %APPDATA%\RealtimeBoard is unchecked, and the app’s updater folder is listed separately after removal. Keep the parent data folder when retaining board data or settings.

What this test covered

Recorded on 2026-10-03 for version 0.11.168, using vendor NSIS uninstaller.

Measured with a source test build in a Windows 11 ARM64 VM. Account sign-in, synced data and other installation channels were not tested. Delayed external-uninstall checks are recorded separately; a Mole uninstall does not prove those checks.
