Uninstall GoToTraining
When you start or join a session, the installation package that is downloaded onto your computer includes the following components: GoToTraining desktop application, the GoToTraining and the Web Deployment browser plugin. We don't recommend uninstalling any of the components of the installation package if you frequently start or join sessions, because they enable you to get into session faster. However, if you need to uninstall GoToTraining, there are a few options for doing so.

Uninstall via MSI (advanced) (Windows)
Domain administrators have the ability to automatically uninstall GoToTraining from multiple users’ computers by configuring the Group Policy Object they used to install.
WARNING: This method is not recommended if installing to users or groups (as opposed to all computers on the network) because some remnants may remain after un-installation (e.g., registry keys, shortcuts on the users’ desktops and Start menu items). This may cause major side effects and impact future installations of GoToTraining. The best way to uninstall GoToMeeting is to do it manually on each computer.
To uninstall via MSI, IT Admins can do the following:
1. Before uninstalling user assigned GoToMeeting with a Group Policy, check that the "Start Manually" option is enabled from the GoToMeeting user preferences – and not "Start automatically after I log in to Windows" (which may result in an incomplete uninstallation).
2. Go to GPO Properties.
3. Select the Deployment tab and select the "Uninstall this application when it falls out of the scope of management" check box.
