I had installed anaconda. I have uninstalled through control panel and deleted the folder anaconda3 which was located on C:\users\HP\anaconda3. During fresh installation it throws an error saying failed to extract packages. I have tried cleaning up C drive, removed temporary files, removed from system path, uninstalled python, pycharm, java, node.js. Checked in registry file no folder existing by name of anaconda. Please help in installing.

I have seen a bunch of posts of this without any great solutions. I had the error message about the failed package extracts on the latest version of Anaconda as of Oct 31, 2023. I tried "retry" a bunch of times, but it still failed. I also tried canceling and re-starting, but that didn't help either. One other user, @Borisl, suggested that the path might be too long. I am not able to change my path, so I don't have a lot of options.
I just ignored the error and continued on with the installation. I was still able to create new environment using the Anaconda Prompt for Spyder, and Spyder launched correctly and imported Pandas.
I think until Anaconda releases a new distribution or advice on how to deal with this, we can just keep calm and carry on.
