All you need to do is download its installer from Apple’s official site, install it, and use your Apple ID in order to sign in to use it and select just which features would like to sync across your devices. Also, you will need to use and setup iCloud on all of the devices you would like to keep synced. However, certain issues may arise with this program so let’s see just what can happen.
Uninstalling iCloud on Windows
A lot of users have reported that they have uninstalled iCloud on their Windows PCs but they are still receiving iCloud related error messages such as: This shouldn’t happen because people have uninstalled it using its uninstaller but somehow pieces of it have remained on their computer. These pieces are not impossible to remove but make sure you follow the instructions from below carefully and do try each one before giving up.
Solution 1: Uninstalling Through Control Panel/Settings
This is probably the first thing you tried yourself but let’s try this again in order to make sure we tried to uninstall it the conventional way. If this method helps you deal with iCloud-related error messages, you don’t have to continue with other solutions.
Solution 2: Running the Downloaded Installer
There has been a discussion at Apple Forums where users stated that uninstalling using Control Panel or Settings won’t get the job done properly. Instead, people said that you need to run the installer you downloaded in order to install the program to your PC. This is definitely something you should try and it won’t take a long time.
Solution 3: Locating the Hidden Uninstaller
There is also a way to find the uninstaller and delete iCloud from your computer permanently by locating it on your hard drive. However, if previous installers failed to load properly or if they opened an error message, this solution might not work either but it’s worth giving it a show since this helped a couple of people get rid of iCloud.
Solution 4: Using Advanced Uninstaller Pro to Remove iCloud
There are a lot of different uninstallers designed to replace Control Panel and Settings as they often get unresponsive and they sometimes freeze in the middle of the uninstallation process. You don’t have to use this particular uninstaller but this one was able to help people who were dealing with this problem in particular and that is exactly why we recommend it.
Solution 5: Using Windows PowerShell
Windows PowerShell is a powerful tool which can help you automate tasks using a command-line shell and a scripting language which was built using .NET Framework and .NET Core. It used to be exclusive to Windows but it was made open-source and now it’s available to all platforms. You can use PowerShell to uninstall various apps and you can even use it to delete preinstalled Windows Apps such as Photos, Video, Calculator, etc. Remove-AppxPackage -package PackageFullName
Solution 6: The Aftermath
This solution includes deleting the leftover files after completing any of the solutions above or after completing all of them. However, since we have used several different methods, you shouldn’t be able to find many files related to iCloud. Still, it’s worth to check just in case as these leftover files may simply be the ones which are causing all of these iCloud-related errors even though iCloud is not even installed on your Computer.
