# Uninstall xNIC on Windows

**WHAT TO EXPECT**

**In this article**, users will learn how to remove the xNIC from their Windows system.

### Uninstalling xNIC on Windows

The uninstall procedure needs the original installation script that is downloaded from the cloudSwXtch. If the user proceeded with the commands proposed in the [Install xNIC on Windows](/v2/docs/install-xnic-windows) page, the file should be readily available. The uninstall can be done using the following command: Text

```powershell
.\swx-xnic-install.ps1 -u
```

If the installation script is not available, the cloudSwXtch is still running in the network, and the agent has connectivity to that VM, users can opt for a one-liner download & execute command:

```shell
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri http://<cloudwsXtch-ctrl-ip>/swx/services/install/swx-xnic-install.ps1 -Outfile swx-xnic-install.ps1; .\swx-xnic-install.ps1 -u
```

If the file is not available and the cloudSwXtch is not running anymore, please contact [support@swxtch.io](mailto:support@swxtch.io) for help.
