okular refuses to leave

A couple of times I tried to use windows builds of Okular from here: https://binary-factory.kde.org/view/Windows%2064-bit/

Okular installs without an error and basically works but can't be uninstalled using "Programs and Features" (see screenshot).
I get message "Access to the path is denied" and an offer to kill some unknown and unnamed processes.
Both buttons "Yes" and "No" have the same result - dialog message appears again.

Since the title mentions Windows 7, what about Windows 10?
I'd argue that Windows 7 isn't even supported by MS anymore, so it's questionable whether putting effort into this does make sense...

That said, can you start the "Uninstall Okular" with administrator rights? Does it work then?

Hm we might require a powershell version that is not available, so that script fails.

But I think Windows updates should provide it.
Also win7 is eol so I probably won't research it.

As Hannah says, please try a supported version of Windows
