Basically, I wanted to remove vegas pro 18 from my computer, but I was unthoughtful and removed the files manually and deleted them from the recycle bin. After that the setup wouldnt allow me to install it because it claimed that it was already installed. Please help me as I really need a fix to this because vegas is my favorite editing software for my videos. Any help is appreciated

There's probably still a lot of Vegas Pro coding in the registry which is likely why its still considered to be installed.

@Dexcon Thank you but I tried that and it still did not work unfortunately.

Try HiBit Uninstaller (http://www.hibitsoft.ir/Uninstaller.html) to see if it can list out Vegas. If can, uninstall it in the list.

And if that doesn't solve your problem, then use windows installer cleanup () to see if it can list Vegas. If can, use it to remove Vegas.

If VP's data has not been gone very long and overwritten, CCleaner's Recuva should be able recover it to use the default uninstaller.

Otherwise, Revo uninstall Pro has a force uninstall option and should be able to remove leftover data and registry entries. You could try the Revo's free version first which may work if VP's uninstall file is still intact.
