Hi there! I see you're having trouble uninstalling the Degoo app because of an error message. Can you tell me what the exact error message says? Also, have you tried uninstalling the app through the usual Windows method (via Settings > Apps) or some other way? Knowing these details will help me guide you better.

I have tried that it gives me the message: There is a problem with this windows installer package. A program requiered for this install could not be run. Contact your support personnel or package vendor. Context older computer says it was downloaded in 2017

Thanks for sharing the exact error message you’re seeing. The message “There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program required for this install could not be run...” usually points to an issue with your Windows Installer or corrupted installation files, especially since the app version is quite old from 2017.

Here’s a step-by-step approach to resolve this uninstall error on your Windows 10 machine:

1. Run the Windows Installer Troubleshooter
- Microsoft offers a troubleshooter to fix installer issues. You can download and run the Microsoft Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter. It may detect and fix corrupted installer data that’s blocking the uninstall.
- You can get it here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-6f3db78f-a60f-4ee5-f9cd-23fd66b7c09f

2. Run the uninstall as Administrator
- Sometimes permission issues cause errors, so try:
- Right-click the Degoo app uninstaller or the Setup.exe file.
- Select "Run as administrator."
- This can allow the needed "program" referenced in the error to run properly.

3. Use the built-in Windows "Programs and Features" uninstall tool
- Go to Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features.
- Find Degoo in the list.
- Select it and click Uninstall.
- If this fails and triggers the installer error, move to the next step.

4. Run System File Checker (SFC) to repair system files
- Open Command Prompt as an admin: press Start, type “cmd”, right-click Command Prompt > Run as administrator.
- Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
- Let it complete, then reboot your PC.

5. Try a third-party uninstall tool
- If the above doesn’t work, you can try a reputable third-party uninstaller like Revo Uninstaller or IObit Uninstaller to forcibly remove the Degoo program and its leftover files.

6. Manual removal as a last resort (only if comfortable with advanced steps)
- You can try deleting Degoo program files manually from Program Files or Program Files (x86).
- Then use the Registry Editor to remove related registry keys (backup your registry first).
- I only recommend this if you’re experienced or after other steps fail.

Because your version is quite old, chances are the installer files or required components on your system no longer fully support the uninstall process. Running the troubleshooter and system scan often fixes this.

If you want, I can guide you through any of these steps in more detail. Would you like to start with the Windows Installer troubleshooter?

I am using windows 10

Thanks for confirming you're using Windows 10. From what I found, Degoo discontinued its official Windows desktop client a while ago, citing performance and stability issues. They now offer a web app that works on any operating system, including Windows 10. So, if you’re still using an old Degoo desktop app installed in 2017, it might explain the uninstall errors you’re encountering since the installer packages and support for that client are no longer maintained.5 4

Given this, here’s what I suggest:

1. If you want to continue using Degoo, switch to the web app version accessible through your browser at https://degoo.com/ — it provides cloud storage access without needing to install anything on your PC.

2. To remove the old Degoo client causing uninstall issues, follow the Windows Installer troubleshooter steps I mentioned earlier to fix corrupted installer data.

3. Alternatively, if the troubleshooter doesn't work, using a third-party uninstaller tool like Revo Uninstaller can forcibly remove that legacy app.

4. After removal, clear any leftover Degoo folders from "Program Files" and your user AppData folder to free up space.

If you want, I can help you step-by-step with removing the old app or guide you on how to use the web app effectively for your Windows 10 system.

Does this sound good to you? Would you like to start with removing the old app, or would you prefer to try Degoo’s web app first?

installer says says the feature you are trying to use on a network resource that is unavailable

Thanks for letting me know the specific error says, “The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.” This is a common Windows Installer error that typically means the uninstaller is looking for installation files (like an .msi package) in a location that no longer exists or is unreachable. Since your Degoo app was installed years ago, these installer files might have been moved or deleted, causing this issue during uninstall.

Here’s a straightforward plan to address this:

1. Locate the original installer source
- Sometimes the uninstaller needs the original setup files to complete removal. If you still have the old Degoo installer .msi or setup file you used in 2017, place it in the folder the error prompts for (or point the uninstaller to locate it).
- If you don't have it, try downloading the latest Degoo installer from the Degoo site (if available), even if it’s newer, and see if running it repairs the installation so you can uninstall cleanly.

2. End existing Windows Installer tasks and retry
- Open Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + Esc), find any process named msiexec.exe, select it, and click "End Task."
- Then try the uninstall again.

3. Use Microsoft's Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter
- This tool can fix corrupted installer data and help remove stubborn programs without needing the original installation files.
- Download it here and run it: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-6f3db78f-a60f-4ee5-f9cd-23fd66b7c09f

4. Use the Windows Registry Editor carefully
- If all else fails and you’re comfortable, you can manually remove Degoo references from the registry that instruct Windows where to find the installer packages.
- Be sure to back up your registry first. I can guide you through this step if you want.

5. Third-party uninstaller tools
- You can try tools like Revo Uninstaller that scan for leftover files and registry entries to completely wipe the program even when Windows uninstall fails.

Would you like me to walk you through running the Microsoft troubleshooter first? It’s usually the safest and easiest way to fix this “network resource unavailable” error for uninstalling programs on Windows 10.

it then says the installation source for this product is not avalible. Verify that the source exists and you can access it

Thanks for the update. The error “The installation source for this product is not available. Verify that the source exists and you can access it” means the uninstaller cannot find the original installation files needed to complete the uninstall. Since your Degoo app is quite old, these files likely have been moved or deleted.

Here’s how to fix this step-by-step on Windows 10:

1. Try to repair the installation first:
- Download the latest Degoo installer from Degoo’s official website if available.
- Run this installer and see if it gives you an option to repair the current installation. Repairing might restore the missing source files so uninstall can proceed smoothly.

2. Use Microsoft’s Program Install and Uninstall Troubleshooter:
- This tool can fix corrupted installer data and remove programs that won’t uninstall normally, even if the installation source is missing.
- Download and run it here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-6f3db78f-a60f-4ee5-f9cd-23fd66b7c09f
- Select the problematic program (Degoo) and allow the troubleshooter to fix it.

3. Use a third-party uninstaller:
- Tools like Revo Uninstaller can forcibly remove leftover files, registry entries, and traces of Degoo without needing the installation source.

4. Manually clean leftover files and registry entries (Advanced):
- After removing as much as possible with the above, you can delete leftover folders in “Program Files” or “Program Files (x86)” and check %appdata% for Degoo folders.
- Carefully use Registry Editor to remove Degoo-related keys — but create a registry backup first.

Since Degoo has discontinued support for the old desktop app, I highly recommend switching to their web app (access it through your browser at https://degoo.com) to avoid installation headaches in the future.

Would you like me to help you with downloading and running the troubleshooter first? That’s often the safest and most effective step for this kind of problem.

they now use a different looking app

Thanks for letting me know the Degoo app you are using has a new interface from 2023. Yes, Degoo recently updated their app across platforms with a much cleaner, more modern design that aims to make cloud storage simpler and easier to navigate. The new version has features like easier subscription management, quick account deletion requests, and overall a refreshed interface that’s brighter with a chrome finish to improve user experience.8 9

On Windows 10, the new Degoo app is available as a modern store app (UWP) via the Microsoft Store, which is a different setup than the old legacy desktop client you had from 2017. This newer app is designed to be more stable and easier to update automatically.

If you are still struggling to remove the old version, going ahead and installing the new app from the Microsoft Store or the Degoo website could help replace the legacy app cleanly. After installing the new app, you might then be able to uninstall the old app through normal Windows methods without errors.

Would you like me to help you find and install the latest Degoo app on your Windows 10 system? That might simplify things and get you set up with the updated features right away.

I just want to get rid of it

Got it—you just want the Degoo app completely removed from your Windows 10 PC. Since you’re facing installer errors and the traditional uninstall isn’t working, let’s focus on a clean removal approach that should work for your situation:

### Step-by-step to uninstall the Degoo app on Windows 10 when normal uninstall fails:

1. Download and run Microsoft’s Program Install and Uninstall troubleshooter
This tool is designed specifically to fix uninstall issues when Windows can’t remove a program properly. It works by fixing corrupted installer data and cleaning up leftover files even if the original installation source is missing.
- Download it here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed-6f3db78f-a60f-4ee5-f9cd-23fd66b7c09f
- Run the troubleshooter, select “Uninstalling,” then find “Degoo” in the list and select it.
- Follow prompts to let the tool remove Degoo cleanly.

2. Use a third-party uninstaller if that doesn't work
Tools like Revo Uninstaller or IObit Uninstaller can forcibly remove stubborn programs along with leftover files and registry entries.
- You can download Revo Uninstaller for free from their official site.
- Run it, locate Degoo, and choose to uninstall and clean leftover data.

3. Clear leftover files manually (optional)
After uninstalling (or forcibly removing), check these locations and delete any Degoo folders if they remain:
- C:\Program Files\Degoo or C:\Program Files (x86)\Degoo
- %appdata%\Degoo (type this in File Explorer’s address bar)
- %localappdata%\Degoo

4. Restart your computer to finalize the removal.

This method should clear out the app even if the original installer files are missing or corrupted.
