I installed "SharePointPnPPowerShell2016" module sometime back when I was doing some research around PnP PowerShell.

Today I was trying to install "SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline" and got an error message which says commands are already installed. Because I already have "SharePointPnPPowerShell2016" module which comes with similar commands I could not install "SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline".

So in order to remove this module, I ran "Remove-Module" and got below error.

Remove-Module : No modules were removed. Verify that the specification of modules to remove is correct and those modules exist in the runspace. At line:1 char:1 + Remove-Module SharePointPnPPowerShell2016 + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + CategoryInfo : ResourceUnavailable: (:) [Remove-Module], InvalidOperationException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Modules_NoModulesRemoved,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveModuleCommand

When I was trying to see if a module is loaded or not I found out that "SharePointPnPPowerShell2016" is installed but not loaded.

See below screenshot for output for Get-Module and "Remove-Module" command.

As mentioned in the comments, you need to use the Uninstall-Module SharePointPnPPowerShell2016 to remove the PnP PowerShell 2016.

After that you can install the PnP SharePoint Online powershell using the executable file or using the Install-Module SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline command.

I suggest you do not install the "SharePointPnPPowerShellOnline" and "SharePointPnPPowerShell2016" in the same server.

You could install in the different servers.

More reference:

SharePointPnP.PowerShell Commands.

And you could use “Uninstall-PnPAppInstance” command to remove the PNP PowerShell.

Uninstall-PnPAppInstance.
