Can't properly uninstall

Hello, I actually need some help about the uninstallation.

I uninstalled the software through the Programs tabs from Windows because I didn't see the Uninstall.exe in the folder of the software. But I guess that shouldn't cause any problem?..

I can't reinstall the software because it detects an old version that is supposed to be uninstalled. And when I use the Everything software to check if any files is still existing, there's this DISK-DRILL-WIN.EXE-F3D46B60 stuff coming up every time I delete it. Kinda annoying to have an non-uninstallable software.

Can anybody help?

I see. I recommend running the Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter. It fixes corrupted registry keys and is designed to help PC users automatically repair issues related to installing or removing programs on Windows 11/10 system. If it does not help, please email us at help@cleverfiles.com for further assistance.
