This worked... it uninstalled the endpoint from the client machine. However, in the All Programs menu (Windows 10), Sophos is still listed as a program.

Odd it wouldn't remove everything? Is there a fix for that?

Hello CBeyer,

If the entry is still listed after restarting the machine, try this portion of the KB one more time:

If the latest Central Windows Endpoint was used, there is a single entry called Sophos Endpoint Agent under Programs and Features. This component can be used to remove all components from a single uninstaller.
If this component needs to be removed from the command line, run: C:\program files\Sophos\Sophos Endpoint Agent\uninstallcli.exe

Please let me know the outcome.

The entry is listed... but it doesn't lead to anything. Like I said, the uninstall works and the program is removed. It doesn't show up in Programs and Features. There seems to be a trace leftover on the Start Menu that, when clicked, doesn't lead anywhere. It's just kind of hanging out in the Start Menu with no purpose or reference. Figured it would go away with a reboot, but it did not.

Hello CBeyer,

I misread your previous message. If the only thing left are the .ink (shortcuts) files, you could try something like this (test it on one computer first, to ensure it works the way you want it):

In a command prompt:
del "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Sophos\Sophos Endpoint.lnk"

If you need to delete the full folder, you can try something like: 
del "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Sophos"

Let me know if that helps.

Regards,
