Dell Support Assist Not Working and Unable to Uninstall

Dell Support Assist has not been working on my computer for the past month. I currently have no icon or way to open the program however it is still on my computer. When I try to go the  "reinstall" route it states the update failed because Support Assist is already at the latest version. When I try to uninstall the program I receive this Error 1721 code ( using OG uninstall) and also told I do not have permissions to delete it (using windows 10 App uninstall). How can I fix any of these problems. The Support Assist File is also full of empty folders

Same problem here.  Try this: download the windows fix tool through:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17588/fix-problems-that-block-programs-from-being-installed-or-removed

Run and follow the steps to uninstall the support assist.  Then download the latest version.  Works for me.

I managed to get a fix to uninstall the Agent. I had version 3.0.0.34.  You need to stop the Dell Support Assist Remediation services first before you can remove the old agent.
