Thanks for the link. It mostly worked but I had to do the following after running the bat file.

Reboot twice because the system became unstable after 1st boot and DeskScapes8 files/folders were left.
Used Everything app from https://www.voidtools.com/ (great program) to find and delete all DeskScapes8 files.
Reinstalled DeskScapes8 because it still showed up in the uninstall list but wouldn't uninstall.

Once it was installed I had no problem uninstalling it.

Thanks again for your link.
