    Hi kenny. My name is Ivan, and I am an Independent Assessor. I'd be more than happy to assist you. I'm so sorry that you are experiencing this issue. Don't worry, I'll do everything I can to help you.

    1. Try different uninstallation methods:

    Control Panel

    • Search for "Add or Remove Programs" in the Start menu.
    • Locate your CAD program and click "Uninstall."

    Program uninstallation tool:

    • Some CAD programs have their uninstallers. Check the installation directory to find an executable called "uninstall.exe" or similar.

    Third-party uninstaller:

    • If the above methods fail, consider using a third-party uninstaller such as Revo Uninstaller or IObit Uninstaller. These tools can often remove hard-to-remove programs.
    1. It is very important to check for all kinds of conflicts.
    • Temporarily disable your antivirus to see if it is interfering with the uninstallation process.
    • Consider disabling any other security software you have installed.
    • *Close all programs related to your CAD software before attempting to uninstall it.
    1. Manual Removal (Be Very Caution)
    • Navigate to the installation directory (usually C:\Program Files or C:\Program Files (x86)) and delete the CAD program folder.
    • Use the Registry Editor (regedit) to delete the registry keys associated with the program. Be very careful when editing the registry.
    1. Reinstall Windows 11:
    • If all else fails, consider reinstalling Windows 11. This should be a last resort as it will erase all of your data. Please back up your important files before proceeding.

    If you get any specific errors, please let me know so I can help you further. I look forward to any additional questions.
