There is an option to run the MATLAB uninstaller noninteractively on Windows. This file is self-documented and can be found in the installation directory for MATLAB in the following location:
$MATLAB\uninstall\uninstaller_input.txt
Where $MATLAB is your MATLAB installation directory.
Information on this can also be found in our installation guides under Uninstalling Products:
The uninstaller is located at $MATLAB\uninstall\bin\win64, where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory. For example:
C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2023b\uninstall\bin\win64\uninstall.exe
NOTE: For R2008a and higher, you will be asked if you'd like to deactivate will when mode=automated. This portion is not automated since deactivation is separate from the uninstallation process. This option will not be presented when mode=silent.
For R2010a and older versions of MATLAB back to R13, the silent uninstaller is called uninstaller.ini. For R12, it is called silentuninstall.ini.
