Leftover Virtual Pet files after uninstallation

Virtual Pet uninstallation has not completely removed all it's files.

I also cannot find the program anymore in Armoury Crate.

There is no uninstall.exe in that Virtual Pet folder in Explorer. Not sure how to delete everything to do with it.

I looked in Windows> Apps> Uninstall, but it is not there like it's already been uninstalled. I checked the uninstall tab in CCleaner but it's not appearing in there either, so these programs assume Virtual Pet and all associated files have been uninstalled/deleted, but clearly haven't been.

Even if I delete those files in Explorer - the program will still appear in System>Display>Graphics.

Not sure what to do. 🤔

I expanded the Virtual Pet entry in System>Display>Graphics and clicked the 'remove' button to remove it from that list. Then I deleted all the leftover files in Explorer.

Bit messy, but should be adequate to entirely remove this program.

I guess Virtual Pet is not showing anymore in AC because I uninstalled via Windows - so it removes itself from AC.
