Andrew Belov gave an answer to this question when you first asked
it back in October... Here it is again:

Uninstalling Windows programs is a Windows uninstallers' job.
Therefore, it is irrelevant which flavor of Warp is used to do it
Actually, the best tool to uninstall a Windows 3.x application is to
remove it manually since configuration is held in text files, so this
job could be easily accomplished

Essentially the WinOS/2 supplied with OS/2 is just a modified and
recompiled version of the standard Windows 3.x so, as Andrew said, if
you are used to using a 3rd party uninstaller for Win 3.x apps you
should continue to do so.
