How to uninstall Paint on Windows 10?

Type "paint" in the start menu, then right-click the Paint app, then choose goto file location. This will open the Explorer in the folder where the link to MS Paint is located. Just delete the link and you won't get bother with MS Paint when searching for "paint" anymore.

You could rename / remove mspaint.exe from C:\Windows\System32 When you open a file extension linked to MSPaint it will throw an error message and you will be asked to chose a new default program.

Or you could just link the file extensions you want to your editor of choice: right-click file, select Open With and tick 'always open with this program') mspaint.exe is like 5MB so it's not taking up much space.

I know this is an old post, but since Windows 10 20H1 (2004) it's possible to uninstall the classic Paint. The steps are:

1. Go to Settings and click on Apps & features.
2. Locate the link Optional features and click on it.
3. It will display a list of programs. Search through the list until you find Microsoft Paint.
4. Finally, click on the uninstall button.
