WinPcap won't be uninstalled by default, as other programs than Wireshark may use it as well.

You can uninstall WinPcap independently of Wireshark, using the "WinPcap" entry in the "Add or
Remove Programs" of the Control Panel.
Note!
After uninstallation of WinPcap you can't capture anything with Wireshark.
