Description
I want to uninstall arduino silently, by running the uninstall.exe, with the parameter /S, in commado prompt.
When I do this, it still prompt if I am sure that I want to do this, since it will delete everything in the arduino directory. I need it, to not do this, since it is not "silent". Or, there should be a way, so force uninstall, so it just does it, after being told, without any issues.

Research direction
The issue concerns the Windows uninstall.exe entry point and its /S command-line parameter. Reproduce the uninstall from a command prompt, then inspect the installer or uninstaller sources responsible for the confirmation prompt. Done means /S completes without prompting while preserving the normal confirmation behavior when the parameter is absent.
