  1. Accidentally "removed" an already uninstalled file from apps & features


    Hello,Long story short, my cousin once installed a game on my computer that then I deleted, it was taking up 40GB, but even after I uninstalled it those 40GB were still there, then I checked apps & features, I wasn't able to uninstall it there because it said it was already uninstalled, but it was still taking up space. then I opened programs & features on the control panel where I tried to uninstall the app too, it still didn't work, but this time it offered me to remove the app because it's already uninstalled, and I accidentally clicked yes. the 40GB was still on there, but now I co

    Apps and Features list an uninstalled App.

    W10-64 Pro. Here is a picture of the problem. Phoenix OS is (as far as I know) UNinstalled.

    Using a super file finder, there are no files with the word phoenix in its name on the computer FWIW.

    A search of the registry finds a key Phoenix OS in two places. The first is here:

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PhoenixOS

    and the 2nd reference is here:

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PhoenixOS

    I am assuming removing these from the Registry will clean up the Apps and Features List of Phoenix OS(?)

    Any and all advice is appreciated in advance.

    Edit: The second registry reference is at:

    Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1742390423-1095737228-4217987103-1001\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\PhoenixOS
