My laptop has a bunch of stuff that I installed over time. Stuff that is now out of date and not needed. For example I seem to have Visual Studio Express for the Web - 2012. But it doesn't work and the installer / uninstaller is broken because it can't find some of the necessary files to either repair or remove it. It can't find the files locally or on the web, so the process fails and I can neither fix it or remove it from Add or Remove Programs. I seem to have something from Visual Studio 2015 for Applications, and I may even have stuff from Visual Studio 2010, if having folders for 2010 is any indication.
With Visual Studio 2019 - Community Edition already out, I want to get rid of the old stuff, but I may need to learn how to manually remove stuff because as I said, the programs designed to uninstall this stuff are not working as advertised. Are there tools available to help me remove such applications? I assume there are registry entries that no longer need to be there and binaries that could be removed, etc.
Any help would be much appreciated.
P.S. There is not category listed here from Visual Studio related stuff or the Programs and Features App from Control Panel, which as far as I am concerned is a subset of Windows utilities. I posted it here because I did not see a more appropriate place to post it.
Examples of Error messages from the attempt to uninstall...
Microsoft Web Deploy 3.0
A required certificate is not within its validity period when verifying against the current system clock or the timestamp in the signed file.
Microsoft ASP.NET
