It is easy to remove AutoSteps from computers.  
Prerequisites:

- You must be logged in to the computer with the local administrator rights.
- You must use the same .msi package that was used for the installation.
- You must close the AutoSteps application before continuing with the removing the AutoSteps.

Remove the AutoSteps using the following command line:

**PowerShell**

```powershell
msiexec /x XXXXX.msi
```

Replace *xxxxx.msi* with the name of the AutoSteps installation file.   
Removal usually takes less than a minute.

# **Silent Removal**

If removing multiple AutoSteps you may want to keep the removal process completely transparent to the end users.  
In that case, apply the /q (quiet) and /n (don't ask) parameters to the command line when removing:

**PowerShell**

```powershell
msiexec /x XXXXX.msi /qn
```

# **Uninstall program**

You can also uninstall the AutoSteps from the control panel i.e. Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features > find the program and uninstall.
