I tried the regular uninstallation by going to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Uninstall a Program, right-clicking on Visual Studio 2015 and clicking "Change" which brings up the setup screen where you can click on "Uninstall", "Repair" or "Modify". But that way was taking too long. I had to keep my laptop on for two or three days and it was still stuck on just a little more than half-way done. So now I want to try manually removing it.

I didn't use any installation media, by the way. I just downloaded it normally from the Visual Studio website. It's in the C Drive in Program Files (x86). I also have Visual Studio Community 2017 and 2019, which is why I want to uninstall 2015. I was keeping it because NodeJS seemed to need it, but I think 2017 should suffice for that by now. And I also want to free up disk space on my C Drive.

Note: I did try to run the Program Install/Uninstall Troubleshooter, and it reported that he problem was fixed. But I tried to uninstall Visual Studio 2015 after that as well and had the same problem. I really need help here. Thanks in advance.
