Uninstalling a program

[Ichoumaz]

Okay, so i encountered a problem with one of the solidworks tools, so i decided to uninstall it and reinstall it again.
i uninstalled it successfuly, and i went ahead to reinstall it, and thats when i had an issue, it doesnt want to reinstall properly again, and i looked in my C drive, and it still had some of the residual files from the first installation,i thought that was the issue, so i tried removing them but i couldnt, it kept telling me that they are running the background and stuff,and now when i look, it says installed, but it doesnt want to run, and when i try to modify it via its proper installer, it just keeps spitting out errors.
anyone knows of a way to fix this? to completely clean the program from my drive without having to format it?
i'm trying to meet a deadline

Did you restart after deleting the program?

You can try and start Windows in safe mode and remove the files.

Disclaimer: I have never worked with Solidworks. What tips I share here is just from my general experince with programs behaving weirdly.

Basically, the program is still installed, bit kinda not, when I go to the windows uninstall widget thing, it's still there, and when I click on uninstall, it ends up just failing afterwards

If I do what you say, will it basically get uninstalled ?
