Describe the bug
After uninstalled Xenko by Windows application uninstaller, I get an error message in Visual Studio.
Cannot find the file or assembly "Xenko.VisualStudio.Commands" or a dependency. (translated in english)
To Reproduce
Install Xenko, uninstall Xenko.
Expected behavior
Xenko should completely removed from the system. Including the VS extension.
Screenshots

A screenshot of the error log of a Non-Xenko project. (Unf. in german. I've to check how to set this in english. In my opinion the erros should depend on the IDE setting which is in english. Whatever... I have to check this out.)

Research direction
Reproduce the issue on Windows 10 by installing and uninstalling Xenko, then inspect Visual Studio's error log for the remaining Xenko.VisualStudio.Commands reference. Done means uninstalling Xenko removes the Visual Studio extension and no longer produces the assembly error in a non-Xenko project.
