Trying to do a fresh install on W10.  
—Uninstalled using Windows Remove Program  
—Deleted from Registry  
—Removed LOCALAPPDATA folder

I keep getting the same result when trying to re-install: “Previous installer data found without “UninstallString” value. Please remove Plex Media Server manually first”

I’m at my wits end. Cannot find the “previous installer data,” as I think I’ve removed it all. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE.
