I found NVDA files left after the uninstall in the program files (x86)

folder. There are 21 files. I tried removing the directory manually, removing the files with a global delete and one by one. In all cases I got the same message saying that the process could not be completed because a file is in use. I have never used safe mode. Can a screen reader, JAWS 2018, read the screen in safe mode? How do I get in to safe mode? Is that the right next step? Don

If any of this fails then this error can occur. I noticed it with another piece of software about a week ago. A complete clear out fixed it. However great care went into the fail safe nature for nvda in this regard, but it might well be a very old version of nvda if then updated to a very new one might throw up errors we have not experienced.

That doesn't mean all files were removed. The next question, which has been discussed here before but which I didn't try to remember the answer to, is what files are left when uninstalling. It appears from the cannot overwrite a file message, that at least one file is in use. I don't know why but such questions may help you solve the proboem. Perhaps something wasn't fully uninstalled that should have been and Windows is keeping a file in use, perhaps because a registry entry is still present that tells it to. In short, I suspect that completely removing the program may require dealing with such questions or, perhaps, going into safe mode and removing the extra files.
