how to properly remove Delphi-RAD Studio 10.4

I downloaded Delphi 10.4.2 Sydney Community Edition. During installation, it threw an error:

Unable to connect to "getIt104" server (404 error)

I uninstalled and tried reinstalling, but received the same error.

I tried installing it in D:\Delphi instead of the default path (C:\Program Files\...), and now I'm getting a different error:

RAD studio already installed. Do you want to remove everything from registry?

Clicking yes, gives an error:

Please remove previous version first

I removed all "Embarcadero/Borland" entries from Path/Registry Editor, and all visible folders in C:\ and D:\. I still get the "previous version found" error.

How to proceed with this? Is there any tool/utility which can remove the product entirely?

Here is the step by step guide:

https://blogs.embarcadero.com/manual-uninstall-of-rad-studio-delphi-cbuilder-10-4-sydney/

Under your Control Panel’s Program and Features Add/Remove Program uninstall the following entries:

RAD Studio 10.4 version 21.0

Please follow these instructions to remove any leftover files:

  • If Windows 64-bit, remove the C:Program Files (x86)EmbarcaderoStudio21.0 directory (or the custom folder you had used).
  • Remove the C:UsersPublicDocumentsEmbarcaderoStudio21.0 directory
  • Remove the C:ProgramDataEmbarcaderoStudio21.0 directory.
  • Remove the %APPDATA%EmbarcaderoBDS21.0 directory.
  • Remove the HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREEmbarcaderoBDS21.0 registry key
  • If Windows 64-bit, remove the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeEmbarcaderoBDS21.0
  • If Windows 64-bit, remove the following files from C:WindowsSysWOW64:
    • BDEAdmin.*
    • CC32*.DLL
    • Midas.*

Field testers should also do the following (and others may want to as well):

  • Delete the Godzilla license from License manager before uninstalling it or during the installation of RAD Studio 10.4 Sydney
