Windows 10: UNINSTALLED THIRD PARTY MEDIA PLAYER, BUT ITS ICON HAS BEEN STILL SHOWING IN THE SUGGESTION...

Since Windows Built-in media player don't support different video formats, I installed POTPLAYER-64BIT for my Windows11!Now, after uninstalling POTPLAYER-64BIT through CONTROL PANEL SECTION, when Iam about to open a new video, still POTPLAYER-64BIT icon has been showing in the suggestion list!I uninstalled it from CONTROL PANEL SECTION! After going through some external sites regarding the complete uninstallation of the POTPLAYER,I even attempted to open REGISTRY to delete all entries regarding POTPLAYER but nothing materialized! While some sites are suggesting third party unintsallers,

Yes. I suggest you try WMP. WMP shows playlist length for the current playlist.
