This is a known issue with side-by-side installations and unfortunately WinGet does not handle this scenario all that well in its current implementation.

You'll have to manually uninstall the older version from appwiz.cpl. After that the uninstall command will work as expected with a single installed version of the package.

We've been working on the side-by-side scenarios. You could try the latest release and enable the experimental feature on:

• https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli/releases/tag/v1.8.924-preview

You should now be able to uninstall a specific version of a package using WinGet 1.8.
