If you want uninstall NetBean but get this message in windos machine, firstly you should check is Netbean running in this machine by press "CTRL"+"ALT"+"DELETE" to call Task Manager and check if the name related to netBean existed there, if yes, right click and select "End Task" and do uninstallation again.

However for my case i can't find netbean is running in the Task Manager.

Solution

Step 1

You can visit the file installation directory which's shown in error message (it's C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\NetBeans\8.1\ in my case ). 

Step 2

Found out the file named "lock" and then delete it.

Step 3

Uninstall NetBean again.

Of course you can visit the log file shown at the error message to check out what's problem about, but what i found in log file is similar to the error message:

[Eclipse] Eclipse show line number in editor

Select "Window"-> "preferences" at main menu


Choose "General" -> "Editors" -> "Text Editors", and then click the box "Show line numbers".


Done:
