Uninstalling programs is impossible

Hello
I don't know if I'm in the right forum, but I would like some information about uninstalling programs on a computer with Windows 10.

The main program, namely Flight Simulator, uninstalls without any problems, but some additional programs for this game refuse to uninstall, showing the following message:
Error extracting files from the media. Irrecoverable failure.

Since it seems that it is essential to uninstall everything from FSX before reinstalling it, I would like to know how to get out of this vicious circle.

Thank you for your help.

    Good evening,
    Try using the uninstallation tool from Revo Uninstaller: https://www.commentcamarche.net/telecharger/utilitaires/19405-revo-uninstaller/

      Hello and thanks Pingouinnormand, but I tried with this uninstaller, without any success...
      On the other hand, I successfully uninstalled programs I didn't need...
      Sometimes, technology can be frustrating...
