Uninstalled WSL2 but VSCODE still shows Local Extension - Installed > Remote-WSL

I'm new to VSCode and was trying to develop in the WSL2 environment for doing Static Site Generator work using a GitHub Repository (which I am also new to). It was a nightmare and so I decided to uninstall WSL2 and VSCode and reinstall VSCode so that I could just use it on Windows. When I had it I must have also installed the "Visual Studio Code Remote Development Extension Pack".

No matter what I do, VSCode opens under a window titled Settings - myUsername [vscode-remote] and it shows Remote - WSL under Local - Installed extensions. It also shows VSCODE-REMOTE - Installed there. I can't uninstall because "No remote extension installed to resolve wsl".

I've uninstalled VSCode and restarted.
I've deleted my .vscode folder and the appData & local appData folders associated with Visual Studio Code to try to get a clean reinstall of Visual Studio code, but not matter what it looks for WSL and opens under vscode-remote. The status bar (lower left) says:
"Disconnected from vscode-remote"

How do I get rid of all traces of WSL2 and get Visual Studio Code working like it never knew WSL2 or VSCODE-REMOTE extension????
Thanks for your help. (Windows 10)

Reproduce the reported Windows 10 reinstall and cleanup sequence, then inspect why VS Code still opens with the [vscode-remote] title and shows Remote - WSL as installed. Verify whether the disconnected vscode-remote state persists after the reported removals; done means VS Code opens normally without the Remote - WSL or VSCODE-REMOTE entries.
