cd C:\Users\Main\Desktop\New folder\platform-tools

adb devices

adb shell

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.taboola.mip

Other useful bits, my one had a different package name:

pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.taboola.ody

and this lists the packages in your phone, incase they have changed the name:

adb devices

adb shell

adb shell pm list packages
