Provide a description of requested docs changes

As of yesterday, I am unable to update my PowerToys whatsoever, and I can't uninstall the older versions at all, as it shoots an error at me with a directory that doesn't exist. What am I suppose to do? I can't even install PowerToys to a different directory because of this, and none of the scripts I found from trying to resolve the issue has helped one bit. I have even tried to uninstall it through Control Panel and through Settings, none of which have even worked... Am I forever stuck with a cursed PowerToys? Do I REALLY need to reinstall Windows just to remove the old PowerToys? What do I even do?! PowerToys_(Preview)_04-27-2024 12-12-16 PM
