  After installing ansys student 2022 R1, I noticed several programs such as workbench were not installed, only some of the programs were available (shown in pic below). Since I don't have enough space left in the C drive, is it safe to delete the folder in C drive (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Ansys 2022 R1), then reinstall it again? Or is there other ways to do it?
  (Note: None of those programs were listed in "Control Panel\Programs\Programs and Features", so I can't uninstall from there either)

  I ended up deleting the ANSYS folder in program files under C drive and reinstalled the software. I was able to find and launch workbench this time and there is uninstall file this time. Although there are still some issues with the workbench such as missing component system functions like static structures.

  Turns out the uninstall file I thought was there was just a shortcut that cannot be access, since it is still missing the file. Deleted all the files like I did previously and installed the 2021 R2 version and works perfectly fine now.
