    You probably uninstalled related files. During Uninstall Windows often asks you if you want to delete which "are taking up space" but not doing anything. It is a good idea to keep these files because they often do things for other files. They are called shared files.

    I would reinstall the original device you uninstalled, and when you go to uninstall it, keep the files that Windows suggests you delete.
