Solving: Uninstall-SPSolution : This solution contains resources scoped for a Web application

To uninstall a SharePoint WSP solution that is scoped for a web application without facing this error "Uninstall-SPSolution : This solution contains resources scoped for a Web application and must be retracted from one or more Web applications.", you have first to specify the scoped web application using this parameter " -WebApplication".

Uninstall-SPSolution -Identity 6ca32b40-73f1-4b3 9-8ed3-121ff6d46de5 -WebApplication http://webAppURL

If you don't know which web application you installed your SharePoint solution or the solution already deployed globally, you can easily use -AllWebApplications.

Uninstall-SPSolution -Identity 6ca32b40-73f1-4b3 9-8ed3-121ff6d46de5 -AllWebApplications

Once you have uninstalled (retracted) the SharePoint Solution, you have to remove it using the below PowerShell cmdlet

Remove-SPSolution -Identity SP_solution.wsp

How to get the Deployed Web Applications for a SharePoint WSP Solution?

In case, you want to know which web applications you installed your SharePoint solution, you can use the below SharePoint PowerShell cmdlet

Get-SPSolution | select Name,DeployedWebApplications | Format-List
