From time to time I need to delete all the Pro Add-ins off my machine - especially if I am developing/testing/debugging and end up cluttering Pro's ribbons with all kinds of Add-ins - all in varying states of completion.
To do it by hand, you navigate to your C:\Users\-- your username --\Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro folder and delete all the guid-ed subfolders. That gets to be tedious so I wrote this shell script. To use it, create a .bat or .cmd file and add a shortcut to it on your desktop. Add this code into it - be sure to replace the "-- your username --" placeholder with your username.
DeleteProAddins.cmd:
echo off

del /q "C:\Users\-- your username --\Documents\ArcGIS\AddIns\ArcGISPro\*"
