Airdroid.exe

Not too long ago I downloaded an app called Airdroid, I had uninstalled it afterwards. It doesn't show up anywhere on my computer or under programs and features . Yet when you go to settings`personalization~taskbar~notification area on the right side of the screen ~select which icons appear on the taskbar-then I see it on the left hand side all the way on the bottom . If I turn it on it does not show up on taskbar. But I want to get rid of it. I called MS and a tech tried to remove it using windows powershell via this step
and restarted the PC with no luck.
2:17 PM Cyrus: we run the command to uninstall airdroid in powershell
2:18 PM Cyrus: Get-AppxPackage *airdroid* | Remove-AppxPackage

AFAIK AirDroid on PC is a regular application (EXE), no Store app (which it is on Android), and then the above command won't do anything.
I guess you'll have to edit the registry to get rid of the notification area symbol. I'll do some research ...
