Logitech g hub exe is missing; can't open, uninstall or re install

I have no idea why, but the .exe for logitech g hub, which makes my headset work, has decided to vanish. I didn't touch any of the files or mess with any new updates. Without it, I can't open the program or uninstall it. When I go through "apps and features" and click uninstall, it says windows couldn't find it. I re downloaded the installation wizard, but it claims that the software already exists on my computer. I checked the logitech forums and found a few people with the exact same issue, but no solution, so I decided to try here instead. Browsing around, some people have been able to reinstall using a 3rd party application meant to remove all files associated with ghub, but I've never heard of it and don't really want to download anything designed to delete my files from a 3rd part site. Besides, I'm certain that there should be a way to fix the problem using the windows UI, only I'm not sure how. I've found the folder containing the data for the app, but I don't know if outright deleting it will fix the problem or even create an entire new problem. If anyone knows the solution, any help would be greatly appreciated.

    It should be safe to delete them all but you can just delete the entries which mention Logitech.

    Yeah, that was the 3rd part app I'd seen people mention... I'm not really comfortable installing it if there's another way to fix my problem though because I'm not 100% sure if it's trustworthy. 

    Out of curiosity, if I were to outright delete the entire ghub folder, what would happen? Would it fix anything or just cause more problems?

    Try Revo uninstaller free:

    https://www.revouninstaller.com/revo_uninstalle...

    The uninstaller will run the program’s own uninstaller then allow the user to run a ‘scan for leftovers’, if the uninstall fails you can still scan for leftovers which will then be akin to a forced uninstall & will remove the program.

    If there is no uninstall.exe available then you can search for Logitech GHub & it’ll scan for leftovers.

    I decided to try revo (although I do still have a system image from 2 weeks ago as a backup) and the uninstaller failed, although it's now showing me 9 items from my system registry. Most of them have something to do with logitech written in their name, but others are a little more ambiguous like "NoModify - 1" and "displayversion". Am I just supposed to delete all 9?

    I use Revo uninstaller Pro & it has been very beneficial to me when a program cannot be uninstalled the usual way or when uninstalled it has left remnants behind.

    Yes it’s 100% trustworthy.

    Do you have a system image backup? If so then you may try it at your own risk.

    Sometimes removing the folder is not enough as there’s be files in other folders &/or registry entries which can affect reinstallation.
