How To Remove Add-ons In Internet Explorer 11
If you want to remove add-ons, the steps you must take are a bit more complex, due to the weird implementation some types of add-ons get. For example, many toolbars and extensions are distributed with separate installation files (setup.exe or setup.msi) which need to be downloaded and installed. The whole installation process is done outside Internet Explorer 11, not inside it, like it is the case with search providers and accelerators. Therefore, uninstalling such add-ons is also done outside Internet Explorer 11. Most toolbars and extensions for Internet Explorer 11, are found in the Programs and Features list of applications.
First, open the Programs and Features window. In order to do this, open the Control Panel, select the Programs section and in then open Programs and Features.

When you select an add-on and you only find the Disable option in the contextual menu, it means it cannot be removed from Internet Explorer 11. You should try to uninstall it from Programs and Features.
