uninstallable

Able to remove

Uninstallable has two opposite meanings depending on context.

Software that is uninstallable can be removed from a system: The bloatware was finally uninstallable after the update.

But uninstallable can also mean impossible to install: The corrupted file made the program uninstallable.

Context usually clarifies which sense applies.
