Do you have DAZ 4.10 installed?
If so, it uninstalled 4.9 for you.
If you have neither listed in Programs and Features you might try CCleaner (Piriform Ltd https://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/download). Amoung it's many functions it will uninstall programs that are otherwise uninstallable. AND it's free for the first month!

Agree CCLeaner is the best-. Otherwise you have to manually delete all Daz folders plus go into registry and delete all Daz..One time purchase..I've had it for years and never had to pay to install again.. High recommended :)

thanks a lot for the hint, i installed it, but it does not show up on the list...

You sure it's still installed? CCleaner..Two options for cleaning..Did you use them both? One is for registry

thanks!
yes, i can open it.
right click on the program in startmenue leads me to "program and features", but its not on that list. in CCleaner i tryed "tools, then: uninstall", i could not figure out what else the program can do...

did search for start menu (bottom left of screen)...It will direct you to a folder program data...windows start menu programs..Open and find your Daz..Delete..HOpefully this will work

There is a folder named "Uninstallers" in the Daz install folder. Navigate to there and execute "Remove-DAZstudio4_Win64.exe"
