Open TASK MANAGER. There you will see a list of everything that is running. Select the item you want and close it

I did what you said. it will not uninstall as it said it was still running. What I want to do is stop it running so I can reinstall it again.

Have you used Task Manager as suggested? Ctrl+Alt+Delete key

Shift + Esc opens Task manager in Opera.

 

Right click the app and then click "End Task" in the pop up.

keep in mind for any potential future similar stuff the task manager would help dealing with it, such as stop or disable an app... glad u solved the issue
