How it's used
While 卸載 is the standard technical term for uninstalling software, it is borrowed from the formal register. In casual conversation, many people simply use 刪除 to refer to deleting or removing apps, as it is more intuitive and less formal.
Examples
This program takes up too much space, why don't we uninstall it?
Related words
Common mistake
Do not confuse 卸載 with 卸貨, which refers to unloading cargo from a vehicle. Using 卸載 for physical objects will sound very strange to native speakers.
