Hi @DutchPete. You can uninstall a package in atom in one of two ways:
In the GUI, you can uninstall a package by searching for it in the packages tab of the settings, there should be an uninstall button there:
https://flight-manual.atom.io/using-atom/sections/atom-packages/#package-settings

At the command line, atom ships a CLI tool called apm, the atom package manager. You can apm install <package-name> and then later apm uninstall <package-name>:

That said, markdown preview is a built in package. Built in packages cannot be installed or uninstalled, only disabled if you don't want the functionality. Were you thinking of a different package, like https://atom.io/packages/markdown-preview-plus?
