Hi needafix1,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. I see you're looking for guidance on uninstalling iCloud for Windows. You should be able to do so with the steps below, from the resource titled Set up and use iCloud for Windows:


"Turn off or uninstall iCloud for Windows

If you turn off a service in iCloud for Windows, your information won't automatically stay up to date in iCloud, and you won't see updates made on your other devices. Follow these steps to turn off a service or iCloud:

  • To turn off a service on your PC, Open iCloud for Windows, then select or deselect that service. To save your changes, click Apply. 
  • To turn off iCloud for Windows, open iCloud for Windows, then sign out. 

If you want to uninstall iCloud for Windows, remember to make a copy of your iCloud data and save it on your PC. Then sign out of iCloud for Windows on your PC, and follow these steps:

Windows 8 or later:

  1. Go to the Start screen, right-click in the bottom-left corner or click, then select Control Panel.
  2. Click Uninstall a Program.
  3. Click iCloud > Uninstall.
  4. When asked to confirm, select Yes.

Windows 7:

  1. Choose Start menu > Control Panel.
  2. Click Programs > Program and Features.
  3. Select iCloud > Uninstall.
  4. Click OK to continue."


I hope this helps! Take care.

I'll be doing this soon too. Updating from the old version (downloaded from Apple's website) and going to the new version (downloaded from the Microsoft store). Will I need to manually uninstall the old version or will the new Microsoft Store version just take over for the files that are already downloaded to the disk via the old version?


Does anyone know if the file path will stay the same?
