Shut down related netbeans tasks from task manager, Then delete the lock file using this command del appdata/roaming/netbeans/18/lock

This retains all other settings and your installations on opening once again

There is no need to uninstall

1st Delete %appdata%/Roaming/NetBeans/16/lock
2nd Rename or delete the folder %appdata%/Roaming/NetBeans/16/config

If you don't find lock file then just go to C:\Program Files (x86) and delete netbeans folder then it gets uninstalled.

I had a similar issue tonight. I searched for the file in my file explorer, and found it. I deleted the lock file, and was successfully able to run NetBeans.
