uninstalled

1. 1
   verb

   Simple past and past participle of uninstall.

   The technician uninstalled the outdated driver before loading the new one.

   They uninstalled the security suite that was slowing every machine down.

   Note

   A computing verb in its finished form: what has been uninstalled was once in place and has since been removed. It serves as the simple past (we uninstalled it) and, after have or be, as the participle (it has been uninstalled; it was uninstalled). The same spelling carries the "never installed" adjective, built as un- + installed rather than uninstall + -ed, so context decides: software removed from a system, or equipment still in its box.
