I need help uninstalling R2016b on Windows 10.

Uninstall file is missing. Matlab R2016b is not visible from apps and features. I can not change the default for .mat files from R2016b to R2020a.

The uninstall folder is missing in the R2016b folder. Can I uninstall the R2016b version with the R2020a uninstall program? I did not see an option for it. I only saw R2020a when I ran the uninstall program. Or does the uninstall remove all versions of Matlab from my computer?
