If you reboot and rerun the uninstaller, I think it will be able to complete the uninstall. This happens sometimes, unfortunately, and right now there's nothing we can do except say "reboot and try again".

(If you do try again, it will probably error on all the other things it already cleaned up, but it should be able to clean up the volume at that point)
