Installation issue.
Brief description of your issue
after installing sublime merge it was weird to me that there was no shortcut for it and winget didn't create links for it in AppData\Local\Microsoft\WinGet\Links as it does for other packages, I don't like how the Path gets polluted with this kind of package so I wanted to uninstall it but winget claims it can't find it:
winget uninstall SublimeHQ.SublimeMerge
No installed package found matching input criteria.
even though it litsts it as installed and it's install location was added to Path
winget ls -q SublimeHQ.SublimeMerge
Name Id Version Source
