Default Writing an API for Removing an Addin

There's a lot involved in doing this. The best I've seen was posted by

However even that is not 100% reliable in some scenarios. I can't put my
finger on it but something makes me suspect Addin info is also stored
elsewhere besides the registry.

I've spent quite a long time looking at this and reverted to the simple way,
check the addin is in the addins collection, uninstall if installed, rename
or move the file and let user respond to the prompt next Excel session
asking to remove the missing addin from the list.
