NXlog still reporting as installed by vulnerability scanners

We tested nxlog ce a few year back but did not end up using it in our company. We recently ran a vulnerability scan of the servers we had this installed on and they reported that nxlog was still installed. We can confirm that nxlog isn't visible in add/remove programs and the nxlog service isn't running. There is still a nxlog folder in c:\program files (x86). It only contains a data folder with two files in it. I'm assuming its registry entries are whats getting detected. Is there any documentation on what registry entries I should remove to completely remove this software?

Hello Sir,
Please can you check the nxlog-public github repo.
You will find useful documentation about the uninstall process.
