Unable to Reinstall MS Teams (Desktop)
I am unable to completely uninstall and reinstall teams. I am the admin user on this laptop (personal)
There are no running services, or program that I can uninstall/stop. But I am also unable to delete the one single file called 'Update' in Microsoft --> Teams folder.
This is the error message I get on the log, Any help to get around this much appreciated.

I have exactly the same problem. The log ends with:
System.Exception: installScenario is not expected to be active
have no idea how to re-establish a previous state of the computer.
