In my case I had to go into the msys2 installation folder and rename maintenancetool.exe.new and maintenancetool.dat.new to maintenancetool.exe and maintenancetool.dat. Then the uninstall from the Control Panel went fine.

I could not find MSYS in the Control Panel list of apps (on Windows 10). I just deleted the whole directory.

Looks like MSYS2 has already been uninstalled and the entry is just a leftover. So confirm the question with Yes to get rid of the entry. If still present, you can of course delete the MSYS2 folder.

I needed to restart computer in safe mode, to get rid of the folder.
- Restart
- Press F8 on start up
- choose safe mode
- Delete it
- restart again (for normal mode automatically)
