Avinstalleras

Avinstalleras is the Swedish passive present form of the verb avinstallera, meaning to uninstall. In Swedish, passive forms are used to indicate that an action is performed on the subject, often in instructions, system messages, or descriptions of software behavior. The form avinstalleras translates roughly to “is being uninstalled” or “is uninstalled” depending on the context.

Grammatically, avinstallera is a compound verb formed from the prefix av- (indicating reversal) and installera (to install). The passive present tense is formed by adding -as to the verb stem, yielding avinstalleras. There are related forms such as avinstallerades (past passive) and avinstallerats (perfect passive).

Usage in computing contexts appears primarily in Swedish software documentation, user interfaces, and system logs. Avinstalleras may be used in instructions or status messages that describe upcoming or completed removal of a program or component. For example, a system message might indicate that a program “avinstalleras” during an automatic clean-up, or a report might state that a program “har avinstallerats” after completion. While more common as a verb form within sentences, it is rarely used as a standalone noun.

In broader software terminology, the concept corresponds to uninstalling or removal actions found in different operating systems, where a program is removed via dedicated uninstall tools or package managers. Avinstalleras thus serves as the grammatical form of a standard action in Swedish-language software contexts. See also avinstallera and uninstall.
