I have tried to open lightroom classic a few times already but it will try to open and fail each time. I thought maybe uninstalling the program and reinstalling would fix the issue but it wont let me uninstall either stateing that I have unsaved projects which I dont have any unsaved the last time I used it.

The message indicates that Lightroom is running, or running in the background.

If running, close it, if not, open the Task manager, and kill the process named lightroom.exe.

 

However, reinstalling rarely fixes any problems.

Are you getting an error message when trying to launch Lightroom? If so, quote it in full.
