I tried to run it and got errors. So I tried to see if it could be repaired, but no such option. I couldn’t uninstall it. I tried following all instructions and suggestions. There are Ruby and Python installations that apparently conflict. After a pretty thorough cleaning of my Windows installation that I couldn’t uninstall, only a Docker folder remained inside Program Files.
Finally uninstalled and restarted computer. Then I tried once again to do a clean install but I got this error:
Unpacking failed: The process cannot access the file 'C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\com.docker.service' because it is being used by another process.

The fact that Docker Service remained after uninstalling Docker Desktop confused me, but there it was. There was no Docker app in the Windows Settings Apps & features to uninstall. I’m at a total loss. I don’t know what to do now.
I have NO Docker running. The best I got was an installation that said it was successful & directed me to run Docker Desktop and go to Settings, but I could never get there. It would start up and then just vanish. I’ve got no docker-compose and of course no docker dpkg. I’m dead in the water.
It installed successfully then died. Then I managed to uninstall it, but can’t even install it now. How do I get my Docker back?
