The standard solution to that is compeltely anticlimactic. Just run the disk cleanup program (diskmgr), and there’ll be an option to remove “previous windows installations”.
It IS possible to manually delete it, but you would need to do the “take ownership” thing; being an admin user does not immediately give you permission to override security on files owned by TrustedInstaller, but you COULD still take ownership.
That being said, the last time I checked it wasn’t easy to get the “take ownership” thing work recursively.
It seems to me that under the hood, Windows is actually reasonably good. But the user experience had been slowly going downhill for a while since Windows 8, even though IMO it’s still okay-ish, despite Windows 10’s many annoyances.
