"the older version of windows defender cannot be removed"

In Microsoft web site, look for "Windows CleanUp Utilitiy".
Download and install it, and then start the program, search for "Windows Defender", select the entry and push "Remove" button. And try to install/reinstall the never version.

After downloading the newest windows defender and trying to install it,
I get this error:

"the older version of windows defender cannot be removed"

The older version I had on there has now uninstalled itself but theres
an empty folder in Control Panel where system explorers used to be.
When I click on the folder (it has no name) it says its invalid.

So 1. how can I install the new windows defender
2. How do I get rid of the invalid folder in control panel.


Thanks
