This is a PowerShellGet Uninstall-Module issue, so I will transfer this issue to there. The PowerShell team is working on a v3 version of PowerShellGet and can be addressed in that release.

could be related to PowerShell/PowerShellGet#262 and PowerShell/PowerShellGet#365

Hi @mi-hol thanks for reaching out! Are you running this on WindowsPowerShell or PowerShell 6+? (You can run $PSVersionTable in the powershell terminal to find out)

If you are running this on WindowsPowerShell you need to run WindowsPowerShell as Admin and then run:
Uninstall-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore -Force -allVersions again

In PowerShell 6+ you can run
Uninstall-Module Microsoft.PowerShell.SecretStore -Force -allVersions and it should be good
