[俊彦 李]

Maybe I found a possible way to solve this problem .

You can just delete the C:\Progra​mFiles\MAT​LAB\R2018b​ and reinstall the matlab.

It worked on my computer.

[Tobi Wibialma]

In the past I had suggested to people that they create the missing file in order to let the uninstall proceed. However people reported that the problem just Re-occurred with a different file. What appeared to work was reinstalling the toolbox and then uninstalling it.

[Yuya Yang]

But when the failure appears the toolbox can’t be reinstalled or uninstalled:(

[Haotian WU]

A possible solution:

Copy all files from folder C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020b\help\stats\helpsearch to C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2020b\help\simulink\helpsearch.

(Edit the name of disk and folder accoring to the Matlab version)

And then reuninstall Matlab.
