How To Uninstall ProtonVPN

I installed ProtonVPN from the proton site. I can't for the life of me figure out how to remove the remaining pieces of the software. I've done the usual things:

1. Checked the ubuntu Store (not there)
2. Purged protonvpn (can't find)
3. apt remove protonvpn (can't find)
4. unhid files and searched in Files and deleted all the protonvpn remnants I could find.

Yet, I can still launch ProtonVPN from the desktop icon/application launcher

Any thoughts?

You downloaded a deb file. So it can't be in the store.

Proton describes it very clearly:

sudo apt-get install protonvpn

Later in the "notes" they write:

To uninstall the official app:

sudo apt-get autoremove protonvpn
#Remove any leftover files:
rm -rf ~/.cache/protonvpn
rm -rf ~/.config/protonvpn

Seems to be pretty straight forward. (RTFM)
