Windows 10: Can't Unpin Visual Studio 2015 from Taskbar

Alright. I've been a good little boy and I have tried to google for my issue prior to coming to the MS community once again. I installed VS 2015, did NOT uninstall it but used it in conjunction with VS 2017. I no longer needed either version because what I need 2015 for was no longer a part of my programming life. I discovered that 2017 was obsolete with the recent release of 2019. I uninstalled 2015 and 2017 while downloading and installing 2019. I didn't think that I would have to manually unpin VS2015 from my taskbar. But after the uninstall, a link to VS 2015 is still on my taskbar and I can't unpin it. I right-click on the icon and tell it to unpin VS2015 and nothing happens. I've tried this multiple times at various times to no avail. Can someone tell me if there is a folder I can remove the link from that would then remove the icon from the taskbar or do I need to do something more extravagant than just manually deleting a file?
