Uninstall-BinFile

Removes a shim (or batch redirect) for a file.

Syntax

Uninstall-BinFile `
  -Name <String> `
  [-Path <String>] `
  [-IgnoredArguments <Object[]>] [<CommonParameters>]

Description

Chocolatey installs have the folder $($env:ChocolateyInstall)\bin included in the PATH environment variable. Chocolatey automatically shims executables in package folders that are not explicitly ignored, putting them into the bin folder (and subsequently onto the PATH).

When you have other files you have shimmed, you need to use this function to remove them from the bin folder.

Notes

Not normally needed for exe files in the package folder, those are automatically discovered and the shims removed.
