'MySQL Connector NET uinstalled but mysql installer still thinks it is

I am attempting to uinstall mysql and reinstall it. I have successfully uinstalled eveything including the connector net from my system. I have followed all the steps of removing MySQL from the program files, program files (x86), program data and users/AppData/roaming folders and even removed the registry key for the connector app. However, when I go to install mysql version 8.0.28, it keeps asking to update connector net version 8.0.27 to 8.0.28, however it can't because it is no longer on my system. I am not able to install mysql properly since the installer keeps thinking that I already have this connector app when I don't. If anyone could help me in fixing this issue, that would be greatly appreciated.
