Uninstalling 'Docker Compose' from Windows 2016

Can anyone provide me with a link to how to uninstall 'Docker Compose' from Windows server 2016 ?

There is plenty out there about how to uninstall Docker from Win 2016 and RHEL but nothing I can find that is specifically about 'Docker Compose' and Win 2016.

For the software we use, which is based on Docker, we were instructed by the author to install 'Docker Community Edition' and separately install 'Docker Compose'.

To install Docker Compose on Win 2016 we were told to take the following steps (from the Docker website):

Download the 'docker-compose-Windows-x86_64.exe' file from 'https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/'.
Rename the file 'docker-compose.exe' and put in the 'Docker' program folder.
Execute the command 'docker pull microsoft/windowsservercore:latest'.
Execute the command 'docker pull mongo:3.2-windowsservercore'.

Now those instructions have disappeared from the Docker website and the installing of DC is done differently. We however need to remove the existing DC install and so need to know how to uninstall. In fact the only uninstall detailed on the page 'https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/' appears to be only for Linux.

We are going to remove Docker also / before so all images and containers will have been removed (so I assume that will reverse steps 3 & 4) - is it really just as simple as deleting the 'docker-compose.exe' file from the program folder ?

My bosses would like to see a webpage that states how the uninstall of DC is recommended.
