I have been trying to remove Visual Studio 2019 after problems with installing the latest update. My goal is to reinstall Visaul Studio, but when I run the installer it says the destination folder is not empty and for that reason it can not install Visual Studio. I tried to rename the Installer folder with command prompt "Rename" command but it did not work. I got an "Access Denied" message. I did run the InstallCleanup -f command while I was in a command prompt session with Admin privileges, but I still can not install Visual Studio with the Installer, or rename the Installer folder. I have also tried to move the Installer folder, rename it, and move it back. But that has not worked for me either. I get a message stating that some file is being accessed inside the Installer folder. I have found some procedures for other actions to take like and I'll try them. But I did noticed in TaskManager four processes called VSFinalizer running. I know what finalizers are, and one of them is running with System permissions. So I am wondering if there is some cleaning up going on that I need to allow and give time to progress. I rather repair Visual Studio the right way instead of deleting folders and messing something up and leave unnecessary files around.
