If you don’t want all the AI features that come with a new Windows 11 computer, you’ll soon have a simple way to get rid of them. Neowin reports that the latest experimental Windows 11 Insider build includes a new button for uninstalling AI components. > MS is making it simpler to uninstall AI components/models in Windows 11. The latest Experimental Ge build (26300.8553) has some hidden updates to AI components settings, with new subpages for models that include an uninstall button. > > (thanks @techosarusrex for the screenshot) pic.twitter.com/EOVnE5f3Z6 > > — phantomofearth 🌳 (@phantomofearth) June 1, 2026 The new button wasn’t included in Microsoft’s official changelog for the latest preview version, but was discovered by well-known Windows beta tester phantomofearth under AI components in System settings. Each AI component will soon have a clear uninstall button that you can easily use to free up more storage on your computer. However, it’s unclear when the new AI uninstall button will actually be rolled out to Windows 11 general users. Since Microsoft itself has not yet mentioned it in the beta tests, it may still be a way off.
