Uninstall 64-bit app from a 32-bit machine

I posted this on Stack Overflow but I guess this is a better place to find an answer to this question

So my friend accidentally installed a 64-bit version of adobe XD on her system (32-bit) and gave it to me after not being able to locate the app, I thought it was not installed properly so I ran the 32-bit installer and got a message that the app is already installed, I've done my best to locate it but with no luck (didn't even show up in the control panel), after that I checked the files that were used in the initial install and it was 64-bit.

Now I don't know where to find it, the installer doesn't give me the option to delete the installed version.

Or you can search through registry yourself... cleanup tools sure sound easier

how to do that, I'm not that familiar with these kind of stuff ?

For more complex programs it will be very long process with only regedit. Try more advanced registry editor like Registry Workshop or use that tool TrigrH find.
