@dronkoff thanks for opening this issue....I am having trouble reproducing this and am thinking it may be related to issues we have seen with One drive file paths, especially with the spaces in the file path... it would be great to know if this issue still occurs when you pipe from Get-Module to Uninstall...it would be even better if you have the chance to test this with a module path that is not on One drive--thanks!

Same error with pipe

In Windows Sandbox, without spaces it uninstalls correctly.
Yes, looks like the problem is indeed related to spaces in path.

PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount> Uninstall-Module AzSK
PS C:\Users\WDAGUtilityAccount>

If it matters, on PS 5.1 Uninstall-Module works even with spaces.
