Hi @Nor_ ,

Welcome to Microsoft Q&A!

You can run InstallCleanup.exe to remove all installed Visual Studio instances completely.

If it doesn’t work, you could have a try with the following steps:

1. Manually delete any leftover install and cache folder you previously installed to
   C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
   %programdata%\Microsoft\visualstudio\packages
2. Delete the setup registry key, which was set when you first installed:
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup
   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\Setup

Sincerely,
Anna
