This issue looks like what got reported in #2949 and is a duplicate of #3279.

• [Package Issue]: Gyan.FFmpeg does not uninstall correctly #2949
• Cannot upgrade/uninstall nested portables coming from an older version of WinGet #3279

The workaround identified in issue #3279 appears ineffective in resolving the issue.
I have the correct version of the software in my system registry.

I have tried to uninstall the software from the control panel, subsequently reinstall it using winget, and ultimately attempted to uninstall it through winget once again. These measures have failed to produce the desired results.
