I deleted a software by deleting it's entire folder and NOT by uninstalling it from installed apps list in settings--->Apps--->Installed apps--->uninstall. But the app still shows up in this installed apps list even though it doesn't exist anymore. If I try to click on uninstall it shows windows cannot find unins000.exe in the corresponding directory. I restarted my laptop but it still shows up. It will be very helpful if anyone helps me with this annoying issue
📎 AI Summary:
The original poster experienced an issue where deleting a software folder manually did not remove the app from the Windows installed apps list, and attempting to uninstall it via the settings caused errors because core files were missing. A responder suggested reinstalling the app first, then properly uninstalling it to resolve the issue. The overall tone indicates a common problem with incomplete uninstallation, with a suggested solution to fix the lingering entry.
