The uninstall.dat file cannot be found in postgreSQL

I want to uninstall PostgreSQL and reinstall it again. I found out that the application was not properly installed.

I have tried all the steps to uninstall it but it still results in the same outcome.

After I click "uninstall", I get this message:

"The uninstall.dat file cannot be found and is required to uninstall the application, aborting".

There is an uninstall.dat file in PostgreSQL. I've tried changing it in Notepad and Editpad but still get the "cannot be found" message. And I've tried many times without success.

Please is there any solution to this issue?
