Avira Antivirus Uninstallation fails to delete all files
If you want to uninstall your Avira antivirus but caught this error during the process, this makes the uninstall incomplete. The program is already uninstalled but there are components left on the computer because of the error. The best way to fix this is to install the program back and uninstall it again. The antivirus should uninstall successfully after this.
Another way is to perform a force uninstall with Revo Uninstaller. Download the Pro version of Revo Uninstaller and install it. You can use the free trial period to force uninstall any program that didn’t uninstall completely. Once installed, start Revo Uninstaller then click “Forced Uninstall.” On the next screen, click “Browse for” and select “Folder.” Navigate to the installation folder of your Avira antivirus and select it.
Click “Next” then following the instructions. Restart your computer after this.
