How to uninstall AWSPowerShell/AWS.Tools module from Powershell?

First steps in Powershell. I can not remove / uninstall AWSPowerShell module from AWS installed modules. Get-Module -Name AWSPowerShell,AWSPowerShell.NetCore,AWS.Tools.Common -ListAvailable showing as follows:

Whem I'm trying to uninstall it via Uninstall-Module -Name AWSPowerShell I'm getting error:

    Uninstall-Package: C:\program files\powershell\7\Modules\PowerShellGet\PSModule.psm1:12733

      |                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
      | No match was found for the specified search criteria and module names 'AWSPowerShell'.

In order to Install the AWSPowerShell Module you need to place the folder inside

C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules

after that you can execute the following command to install the module:

Import-Module AWSPowerShell

Now AWSPowerShell should be installed on the client.

If you want to remove AWSPowerShell you need to execute the following command:

Remove-Module AWSPowerShell

Once the module is removed you can delete the folder:

C:\Program Files\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\AWSPowerShell

More information on those commands can be found in the Microsoft Wiki:

You need to simply delete it. If you want to do it via PowerShell, you can do something like this:

Get-Module -Name <ModuleName> -ListAvailable | Select-Object -ExpandProperty ModuleBase | Remove-Item -Recurse -Force
