Windows 10: I installed UblockOrigin for Legacy edge by mistake instead of chromium, how do I uninstall it?

I installed UblockOrigin for Legacy edge by mistake instead of for chromium, how do I uninstall it?

I installed it through the microsoft store but it was not until after installing that I saw it said for legacy.

The file name is weird as heck too 37833NikRolls.uBlockOrigin_f8jsg5mm64m62

It is not in any appdata folder I had to scan my entire PC to find the thing.

When I go to delete the file itself it says I need administrator privileges however I am the administrator for this computer.

This is a brand new computer so I am a bit worried that I screwed something up.

Latest update changes pinned legacy edge shortcut to Edge Chromium

Can anybody who has both legacy Edge and Edge Chromium installed verify this unacceptable behaviour.

I did the regedit to retain Legacy Edge and that works fine, and in apps list I see both Edge Chromium and Legacy Edge.

I pin Legacy Edge to Taskbar and it works fine.

I reboot pc and it CHANGES the pinned shortcut to Edge Chromium - WTF!!!

I tried pinning both and it still changes short cut on Taskbar to Edge Chromium.

I tried to create a new shortcut for Legacy Edge using tutorial, and put it on my desktop. I RENAMED the shortcut, and it works fine. I pin it to Taskbar, reboot and it gets bloody changed to Chromium.

This change has happened since most recent update. Before, it would do change it when you updated and only a minor inconvenience.

I cannot find a way of pinning legacy Edge to taskbar now.

Anybody have any ideas how to get round this reprehensible change?
