Description
Running `elastic-agent uninstall` on a Windows system after installing the agent with an MSI package does not fully remove all references from the system.
- Version:8.18+
- Operating System: Windows
- Discuss Forum URL: N/A
- Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install elastic-agent using an MSI install on Windows, see [official docs](https://www.elastic.co/docs/reference/fleet/install-agent-msi).
Note how the installer creates a `C:\Program Files\Elastic\Beats` directory
3. run `elastic-agent uninstall`
4. The `Beats` directory still exists on the system.
Additionally, Elastic Agent will still be listed in the system's Installed Programs list.
