# Uninstall the Edge Extension on Windows

## How to uninstall the Sonar Edge Extension via GPO:

When you deploy a Chrome extension via GPO using ExtensionInstallForcelist and ExtensionSettings, uninstalling it is simply a matter of removing the corresponding GPO entries.

### Open Group Policy Management Console (GPMC)

* On your management server or PC, run gpmc.msc.

### Edit the Relevant GPO

* Locate the GPO you used to deploy the extension.
* Right-click and select Edit.

### Remove Extension from ExtensionInstallForcelist

* Go to:
  * Computer Configuration

    → Policies

    → Administrative Templates

    → Microsoft Edge

    → Extensions
* Double-click on Configure the list of force-installed apps and extensions.
* Remove the line for your extension:
  * edge\_extension\_id;<https://edge.microsoft.com/extensionwebstorebase/v1/crx>
* Click OK.

### Remove Extension from ExtensionSettings

* Go to:
  * Computer Configuration

    → Policies

    → Administrative Templates

    → Microsoft Edge

    → Extensions
* Double-click on Extension management settings.
* If you previously added a block like this:

```
{
  "edge_extension_id": {
    "toolbar_pin": "force_pinned"
  }
}
```

* — remove the entire chrome\_extension\_id section.

### Force GPO Update on Client Machines

* Run gpupdate /force on a client PC, or just wait for the next policy refresh cycle.

### Verify Removal

* Restart Edge on the client machine(s).
* Go to edge://policy and verify that the extension is no longer force-installed.
* The extension should uninstall itself automatically.

## GPOs

If you’re using registry GPOs instead of ADMX templates, just delete the registry items in the corresponding GPO section under:

* Computer Configuration → Preferences → Windows Settings → Registry

Remove the keys for:

* HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionInstallForcelist
* HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Edge\ExtensionSettings
