I was having issues with with my license activation so I decided to reinstall Inventor 2023, and after uninstalling it I was not able to reinstall due to the last install not being completely removed. I tried to use the MSfixitTool to remove what was left of Inventor with it failing to do so. I then followed the Clean Uninstall guide to no avail. MSfixitTool is still showing that Inventor is still there but it fails to remove it. What can I do now other than reinstall windows?

Make sure that there are no instances of the files in Program Files, ProgramData, Common Files, or the Windows registry.  Clearly it is finding some remnants that is causing an issue.  I assume it is no longer listed in Control Panel? If you still have issues, post your installation log file here.
