Most Windows apps can be uninstalled using Revo Uninstaller Free
Unless you’re planning on using your phone with your version of Windows, I can’t see why removing it would be detrimental. But I couldn’t tell you if Revo will identify it.

For now at least, I have discovered that REVO does not list "Continue from phone" to be able to remove it.
