Uninstall with --force.

[jasonhemann]

@vitorgalvao

I don't believe that worked on my system

$ brew cask uninstall utorrent --force
Error: No available Cask for utorrent
$ brew cask install Caskroom/cask/utorrent
Error: Tap caskroom/cask already tapped.

[miccal]

@jasonhemann the command should be brew cask uninstall --force utorrent.

[jasonhemann]

@miccal, that didn't seem to produce a different outcome, although thanks.

$ brew cask uninstall --force utorrent
Error: No available Cask for utorrent

[vitorgalvao]

@jasonhemann That means it was already uninstalled. As for the app itself, you’ll have to delete it yourself. That’s the whole reason the cask was removed: the uninstall didn’t remove it.

[jasonhemann]

@vitorgalvao Ah. Alright then. That explains that. Problem solved.
