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:

Answer 1

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
