PothosSDR does not fully uninstall from windows 10

[lifeatthesharpend]

In windows 10 when I tried to uninstall the app never fully uninstalls and remains in the "Apps & Features" dialog box of windows 10. The SW is "Pothos SDR environment (vc16-x64)" on windows 10. After uninstall this still shows in the settings -> Apps & features

once selecting uninstall the dialog box shows : Windows cannot find'C:\Projeram files\PothosSDR\Uninstall.exe' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.

The folder does not exist. but the OS still thinks it is installed.

The cause of this is an orphaned registry entry at HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PothosSDR.

If the folder C:\Program Files\PothosSDR is successfully deleted after uninstalling, then deleting the PothosSDR folder in the registry using regedit should be no problem. (disclaimer: don't normally mess with your registry)

that registry entry does not exsit

and Pothos SDR environment is still there: The folder C:\Program Files\PothosSDR is not present

After doing a search for PothosSDR in the registry it found this: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PothosSDR

after deleting the reg entry and substrings PothosSDR does look to be removed from the windows "Apps & features" dialog box
