My Question or Issue

I uninstalled Spotify to see if it would help with the zombie process because Spotify would hang and not close at all.  Now that it's uninstalled there is still a Spotify process in the background and I can't reinstall Spotify. Please fix this or help me!! I have attached the task manager window showing Spotify running and the installer error.

Hey @liquidzo, welcome to the community!

I know it sounds simple, but it's often overlooked. Could you try restarting your device?

If you're still having trouble, could you let me know the exact version of Spotify and the exact version of the operating system you're running?

I'll see what I can suggest next!

I have tried that already and it's the same reply I keep getting everywhere else.

Thanks for the reply! Sorry to hear your still having issues. 

Please go ahead, and reinstall the Spotify app, then uninstall it once more.

Let me know how this goes!

I finally fixed by clearing up my registry with CCleaner. Thanks for the help though.
