Hi there,
i'm trying to cleanup old minor versions, it does work with any major versions and other runtimes (including 10) but Windows Desktop Runtime 10.

Tool:
dotnet-core-uninstall version 1.7.661902
Command:
dotnet-core-uninstall remove --all-lower-patches --windows-desktop-runtime --yes

Logging the output tells me that it sees them

Uninstalling: Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 10.0.2 (x86).
Uninstalling: Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 10.0.3 (x64).
Uninstalling: Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 10.0.3 (x86).
Uninstalling: Microsoft Windows Desktop Runtime 10.0.2 (x64).

But it doesn't uninstall, the same entries will be made every time i run the uninstaller.

Thanks for your help!

    Just want to add that I am also seeing this.

    I am using the following:

    dotnet-core-uninstall remove 10.0.5 --runtime --yes

    But it remains installed on the system...
