Brief description of your issue

On my machine I had following packages installed

• Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6 x64
• Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6 x86

Both were on the version 6.0.36

I wanted to uninstall x86 version but leave x64 installed Winget didn't allow for that , either it suggested uninstalling all of them or supplying --version

Multiple versions of this package are installed. Either refine the search, pass the `--version` argument to select one, or pass the `--all-versions` flag to uninstall all of them.

I tried to check if uninstall has --architecture parameter, but unfortunately it's missing

When I supplied --version it uninstalled x64 version not x86

Steps to reproduce

• Install packages

winget install --id Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6   --architecture  x64 --version 6.0.36 --scope machine
winget install --id Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6   --architecture  x86 --version 6.0.36 --scope machine

• Try to uninstall package and see the issue

winget uninstall --id Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6

• Uninstall with supplying version parameter

 winget uninstall --id Microsoft.DotNet.DesktopRuntime.6  --version 6.0.36

• uninstalled wrong package

Expected behavior

Winget should allow for uninstall correct architecture package If install command has this option then by analogy it should be available for uninstall too.

Actual behavior

Currently winget doesn't uninstall package that I want and I need to fix machine after incorrect uninstall

I have a similar issue with PHP.PHP.8.4 package. The package was installed and is listed in my installed packages when using winget list but winget uninstall claims that no such package is installed.
