What you see on the GUI is not necessarily the "phrase" you need. If you look at the documentation for windows_package, you will see that the action you want is remove.

windows_package 'Whatever' do
  action :remove
end

i tried the above method it dint work . I am unable to fix the issue. But it worked for uninstallation of chrome . We also gave the same name as its in Display name as its in Control panel .For uninstallation does it require "Uninstallstring in registry key information" ..?? – Mohan Karthik Sanagapalli Jul 01 '14 at 10:16
yes,same as is in control panel , and also cross checked the name in registry keys . – Mohan Karthik Sanagapalli Jul 02 '14 at 04:36
Capitalization and all? Windows packages are case-sensitive. – sethvargo Jul 02 '14 at 14:50
