Can't uninstall Personal Gateway

I installed the personal gateway on my laptop 3-4 months ago (before the consolidation of the installer with Enterprise).  I am migrating my SQL server from one PC to another, hence I need to uninstall the personal gateway and move it to the other PC (same Power BI Datasets.

 

I uninstalled the software on the original PC, then installed Personal Gateway on the new PC with the SQL Server already installed and configured.  When I go to Power BI, it says my gateway (refering to the original PC) is offline.  Searched a bit and found some tips saying to delete lagging Personal Gateway install folders.  I did this but no change.  I uninstalled the Personal Gateway from the New PC and then reinstalled it on the original PC.  Then tried to uninstall from the original PC - still no banana.

 

I then installed the Enterprise Gateway on the new PC.  This has now given me a second gateway choice in one workgroup.  I have a choice now, and have selected Enterprise for 4 data sets.  The personal gateway is still there "offline".  I have a second workgroup with a single data set, but there is no choice of Enterprise for this one (for whatever reason) - just the offline personal gateway.  I deleted this data set and republished - no change.

 

I would appreciate any help in getting this sorted.  @GuyInACube Adam, any idea?
