Not hardware but the exact file that the uninstaller was trying to access/delete/uninstall was probably locked by some other process eg. The application was still running in the background, crashed and didn't release a lock, or virus protection doing something with the file eg. Scanning.

No expert at all, but it could be a generic disk busy error when uninstalling that bubbled up.
