Can't uninstall Power Toys

I had trouble updating Power Toys, so I downloaded the installer. The installer won't work because Power Toys is already installed. However, it doesn't show up in my app list, so an uninstaller can't find it. I tried to restore the system from a disc image, but that didn't even get started. How can I get out of this situation?

    Hi, Roger. To execute the script, please open Powershell console, next type CD desktop and press enter. Now the cursor is on desktop. Type .\cleanup_tool.ps1 and press enter.

    This procedure must remove PowerToys information.

    Let me know if you need anything else, please.

    I think I've downloaded the file to my desktop; how do I run it in PowerShell?

    Exactly (step by step) do I download the file? Copy and paste doesn't work, and my downloader won't download it.

    Thanks, Roger. I recommend this PowerShell script instead CCleaner.

    Download the ps1 file and running from PowerShell, please.

    Content removed, but the installer still detects traces. I'll run my cleaning software (CCleaner, etc) and see what happens.
