Answer 2

UPDATE: as per @ferventcoder's comment, Chocolately has added support for uninstalling packages since this question was first asked and answered.

The syntax is chocolatey uninstall packageName or just cuninst packageName.

You can optionally uninstall a specific version:

cuninst packageName -version 1.0.1234

See Rob's link for the latest, including known limitations: https://chocolatey.org/docs/commands-uninstall

Chocolatey now has native support for uninstall - see github.com/chocolatey/chocolatey/wiki/CommandsUninstall – Colloidal

It's the most frustrating thing that Chocolatey allows authors to submit packages with no uninstall procedure defined. – Iniquity

Choco does have autouninstaller since March 2015 and it's pretty good at automatically uninstalling applications now without an uninstall script. – Colloidal
