I found there is also a removal suite but I did not use it

I am far from being an SDL Trados Studio expert, but I think that the answer in is your question!

Many thanks Paul and sorry to bother you for this. I made the same mistake before...

PS  I guess it is not possible to forbid uninstallation of Studio by the Windows uninstall command or to redirect to the Removal Suite? It would be nice.

Merci Gérard

Je savais que j'avais fait cette erreur (à nouveau). Le problème était de la réparer...Bon, comme je fais très rarement la désinstallation j'oublie qu'il faut utiliser la removal suite...ce qui n'est pas très "user friendly".

Cordialement

In Trados Studio 209 and 2021 we have already addressed this and you only have these options:

One in each case.  So you cannot make the same mistake.
