Question Can't delete DOOM Eternal

I bought a new game yesterday and realized I was running low on storage, so I decided to try deleting some things to free up space. The thing is, I was looking through my storage in Windows 10 settings, and it says I have DOOM Eternal installed. When I try to uninstall it, it asks if I want Steam to make changes to my computer (probably uninstall). I click yes, and nothing happens. I have tried to completely shut down Steam via Task Manager and try again, but it just starts Steam up anyway. I know why it says DOOM is installed though, I was gifted this computer from a friend and I'm fairly certain he had it on his Steam account but never uninstalled it once he gave it to me. Then I logged out of his account and now it's impossible to delete. Are there any methods I could try to delete it? Thanks in advance!

For any used system, you personally need to do a full wipe and reinstall.
It prevents issues exactly like this. Along with a host of other potential issues.

Do this now.
