Windows 10: How to get rid of uninstalled apps controlling Reputation-Based Protection in Windows 11?

The HP Smart App Control was installed on my computer, and I uninstalled it. Now in Windows Security, it says that the app is still in control of the reputation-based protection. How would I go about of getting rid of that?

Programs Missing From Control Panel List

I was able to get rid of XNVIEW by downloading it and using it's own uninstaller.
Have tried method suggested by Pyramid 10 with photoscape without success.
Can't figure out how to do what is asked.

Your next suggestion?

Unable to uninstall an app

First of all, I haven't tried any troubleshoot steps.

I tried to uninstall it at control panel.

Now, from the list of programmes at the control panel, the app has disappeared (I don't know if it has uninstalled) but the folder of the app is still on the start menu app list.

How do I delete the folder from the list of apps on the start menu.

Thank you.
