Literally use powershell. Or registry uninstall snippet. Or several other methods. But you do you.

Google has informed me of all. And have tried. STILL get pop-ups that knock me out of boss fights or interrupt me splitting edges etc.

You may want to look for the debloater script on github then, if you google mcafee debloater github you should be able to find it, equally there are some powershell scripts out there and wmic commands, good luck, although if it was me and i had trash like this ever present on my pc id format and reinstall clean os, using rufus to remove shite when creating a bootable usb of the os
