Unable to uninstall Any Send

Solved

Hello,

I accidentally downloaded and installed the program called AnySend, which seems to be for sending files. Since it's not the program I wanted, I want to uninstall it, but here's the problem: it refuses to go away. Neither through Programs and Features, nor by uninstalling AnySend, nor by using CC Cleaner does it work. All I get is a thing that basically says don't you want to send large files for free?
bla bla bla after which you can supposedly click on Show me how, but it doesn't work, and the support page doesn't either; the only thing you can click is I Will Keep AnySend.
I disabled my antivirus (Avast) and there's no problem because I thought it might be a malicious program, but no, everything is fine. I did a Google search on uninstalling the program and no solutions are offered.

Can someone please help me with this?

    Press this key combination: WINDOWS+R

    In the run window that appears, type REGEDIT

    In the new window that will open, go to Edit and then click on Find

    In the search field, type ANY SEND and delete the keys related to it.

    Repeat this operation until the registry editor tells you that the search is complete.

    Close everything and restart your PC.

      I did it and it still opens at startup and it's still in the Start menu, but it no longer appears in the programs with Revo or in Programs and Features. However, if I try to open it, I get an error message saying that the program cannot be found.

    Hi,

    uninstall it with revo uninstaller

    there is a tutorial on the download page.

    then do some cleaning with ccleaner (the registry too)

    there is also a tutorial on the download page.

    when it's done, restart your PC.

    Right-click on your taskbar at the bottom and click on "Task Manager" and see if you have a process related to it. If so, stop the process.

    Run CCleaner a second time and restart your PC.

    He doesn't seem to be here anymore. Thank you very much. That damn hot air balloon that kept popping up on my desktop was really exhausting me. :)
