I have a dell 3650 with Win 10. I copied overs users data from older computer to a new one. When i go to install brave it says that it is already running. I can’t uninstall it because there is no ICON in program or features and I HAVE NOT installed it yet. There must be files that need deleted but I can not find them all. I deleted bravesoftware out of %appdata%. That was all I could find. Please advise ASAP. Thanks.

You could try using Revo Uninstaller, a free uninstaller program.

Try running…

powershell -command "Get-Process brave | ForEach-Object { $_.CloseMainWindow() | Out-Null}"

or

taskkill /im brave* /t

before the installation.
