Im currently using VS Code 2019 and was trying to uninstall visual studio pro 2022 as in the p. Is this not working because its nit fully installed because it won't resume installing either or is it because imuseing some components from 2022 inside 2019.

    Thanks for reaching out!

    1. Uninstall via Visual Studio Installer:
      • Search for Visual Studio Installer in the Windows Start menu.
      • Open it and look for the edition of Visual Studio you want to uninstall (Pro 2022).
      • Click on More next to the version you wish to uninstall, and select Uninstall. Confirm the action when prompted.
    2. Using Add or Remove Programs:
      • Open Settings and go to Apps.
      • Search for Visual Studio in the list.
      • Click on the version you want to uninstall and select Uninstall from the options.
    3. Repair before Uninstalling (if the uninstall fails):
      • You might want to try repairing Visual Studio through the installer before attempting to uninstall it. Sometimes a broken installation can cause issues.
    4. Last Resort: InstallCleanup.exe:
      • If you're still having troubles, you can use the InstallCleanup.exe tool to remove installation files and product information. This is a last resort:
      • Close the Visual Studio Installer.
      • Open an administrator command prompt (search for cmd, right-click and choose Run as administrator).
