Uninstalled MSEdgeRedirect, now shows 2x in System Tray settings, not in System Tray #228

I am a home user and installed MSEDGEDIRECT as I use Google not Edge for searches. However, I see it 2x in my System Tray settings. I thought to uninstall and start over. I uninstalled through Programs, but I still have it showing in System Tray settings. I see there is a Uninstall script and I ran it in PowerShell, but it didn't work and says not found, failure, or invalid on most lines. I want to avoid another reset as it is very time consuming.

This is something Windows keeps track of itself. You can clear it using the following instructions:

Having MSEdgeRedirect clear it would affect other applications and would be outside of the scope of the uninstaller.

Thanks. I used regedit method and deleted the 2 values indicated, MsEdgeRedirect is gone. Now there is an Audio icon labelled Task Manager appearing in the System Tray settings. There is another Audio icon but it is correct as its labelled HP Audio Switch. Weird instances since Win11 update.
