This error appears and I can't do anything else, it happens out of nowhere

Thanks, I was able to resolve it. If anyone tries and can't, I resolved it by using the program 'Everything' storage search for Windows. I searched for 'Lightroom' and deleted everything related to the program. If something couldn't be deleted, I used 'IObit Unlocker' to unlock and delete it.

PS: I tried uninstalling it from Creative Cloud and it didn't work.
