Uninstall tries to uninstall WINrar #53

Closed TheAFKGamer10 closed 11 months ago

TheAFKGamer10 commented 11 months ago

When I try to uninstall SuperF4 via the win11 menu, it thinks i am trying to uninstall WinRAR and pops-up with the uninstall confirmation. Win11 also says that it takes up 210Gb or storage that is way i am trying to uninstall it. Any recommendations on why this is happening?

Hi. Maybe you had accidentally installed SuperF4 into the WinRAR's directory or vice versa? I guess re-installing both the two software with carefully (to overwrite Registry entries) may solve your problem.

Hello,

That is very strange, I've never heard of this happening before.

The installer computes the size of the directory, so probably you installed it in an existing directory that was already very large. 🤔

So perhaps you installed SuperF4 in the WinRAR directory.. Or maybe you installed WinRAR in the SuperF4 directory?

Anyway.. more information would be helpful. If you know how to use the registry editor (regedit.exe) then you can go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\SuperF4 and take a screenshot like this:

Uninstall-regedit

EstimatedSize is what the installer calculates and writes there which is what the "Apps & Features" program displays as the program size.

P.S. I don't use Windows 11 yet so I don't know if there's any discrepancies because of that.

That was why i was breaking, because I had it installed in my Downloads folder and not in a separate one just for the app. Thanks for the solution.

Thanks for figuring that out. 👍

The portable zip file may suit your preferences better than the installer.
