But I failed due to the tips are unavailable or they are hard to be followed. Fortunately, I find the useful uninstall tips and now I share them to you. 

Why do you try to remove Silverlight from your computer?

Step 2: Click Remove button in the dialog box as follow:
Step 3: Click Yes in the next dialog box.

If there is no Uninstall option, you can go to the Control Panel to start the removal processes.
1) Go to Start and then Control Panel.
2) Open “Add/Remove Programs” and then click the program you want to delete from the programs’ list.
3) Click Uninstall and follow the instructions to remove all the files.
After I have done all above, you have to clean the related registry entries through Registry Editor. It is crucial for you to remove all Silverlight registry entries. Click Start Menu and then go to Run. On the pop-up dialogue box, Type “regedit” so that you can open Registry Editor. Find out the related files under folder like:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ SOFTWARE\Silverlight;
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE \ SOFTWARE\Silverlight;
Please delete them all without any hesitation.
In the end, you need to restart your PC as you see the popup message. And the software will be totally deleted from your PC.
