This message appears when I click next in the installer. The problem is that I don't have OBS installed (I used to, but I reseted the laptop, so I don't have any files). If someone knows how to fix, please share. Thanks in advance!

Hi I followed the first reply of this Reddit post and it worked: https://www.reddit.com/r/obs/comments/leixy1/obs_says_i_have_a_obs_running_when_i_dont/

As I did not find "Advanced", I clicked on "Details" and then found "obs64.exe" and clicked with the right button of the mouse on it and on the drop-down menu that opened, I clicked on "End task" (you can do the same by selecting the task and clicking on the button saying "End task" on the bottom-right of the Task Manager window or pressing the Delete key). I hope it works for you.
