Cannot testify for this case but Bulk Crap Uninstaller[0] is usually a reliable way to fully uninstall tenacious windows programs, including potentially left over files and registry entries.

ShutUp10 (also works with 11) does this but with a nice UI, and allows you to individually toggle settings, as well as undo them. https://www.oo-software.com/en/shutup10
