How do i remove references to an old unity version in the hub so i can reinstall that version

For some reason Unity does not allow for two instances of the same version to be installed on my laptop. This is especially annoying because it shows that I have a version of Unity that I do not have (that I previously have uninstalled) in Unity Hub. What I want to do is remove this listing of the version so I can install it correctly, because since it thinks it is already installed, it will not let me install this version

here is what unity hub looks like

I already tried manually installing it from the website, but when I open the unity.exe that is installed from the installer, it just opens unity hub which fixes nothing.

Another solution that I tried that I found online (back when this version was installed manually) is opening one of the projects that I had created with that version via the file explorer. While this did open Unity, it did not link it to Unity Hub and since it did not do this, I was not able to login to Unity (and therefore not able to use the asset store, or try out the micro-games in the "learn" tab)

If anyone who works for unity reads this: please revert unity back to how it was before unity hub. I used unity 2017 for a couple years without any issues and recently decided to update. Unity hub is worse in every single way and doesn't even fulfill its one function which is to install unity :(

thank you for coming to my ted talk

Edit: I deleted C:\Users[my username]\AppData\Roaming\UnityHub. This allowed me to manually set the unity location from inside the hub. It still doesn't work though. This happens: i.imgur.com/Fwd079U.png

The simplest solution I've found so far, as mentioned in one of the comments, is to delete the hub's app data from %appdata%\Roaming\UnityHub

On Windows:

  1. Close Unity Hub and all it's processes from the Task Manager
  2. Move the entire UnityHub folder to a backup location
  3. Re-launch Unity Hub.

You shouldn't need to re-add any projects to the project list, those seem to be cached elsewhere. It also seems to recognize any versions of Unity that really are still installed.
