How Can I Remove CardSpace?

I installed CardSpace via Windows Update and then realize I didn't want it but I can't find anyway to remove it. It doesn't show up in the add/remove list with updates shown option enabled.

If Windows Cardspace is not listed in the Add/Remove Programs, it may very well be uninstallable.
The option to remove or uninstall Windows Cardspace is not even mentioned in its FAQ.

Gotcha KevinS.
In addition to Cardspace, net framework 3 also comes with Windows Presentation Foundation, Windows Communication Foundation, and Windows Workflow Foundation.
Just uninstall framework 3.

While I agree it seems uninstallable it didn't come with framework 3 for me. I installed that around the same time I think but they were separate downloads. Anyway I'll just put up with it.

Maybe not necessarily. Have you tried System Restore to a time before you installed Cardspace?

No but I've had it for a few days and I don't want to do a system restore for such a minor thing but it could work.

Can I ask what you aversion is to CardSpace?
I ask this because my company is looking to utilize CardSpace to manage licensing the in the new version of our software that is in development.

I don't really have an aversion to it, I just don't think I need it myself.
