HI,

You can download the uninstaller from: Uninstall Flash Player for Windows

As of Windows 10, Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE, and Edge. 

The following 2 FAQs may be of assistance:

• Adobe Flash Player issues with Windows 10 (Microsoft Edge)
• Flash Player Issues | Windows 10 | Internet Explorer

Thanks!

Hi,

In Windows 10, Microsoft embeds Flash Player (activex player) in IE, and Edge.  You can disable it but cannot uninstall it.

Could you please go to control panel -> flash player-> updates and provide a screen shot (It would say that you do not have a flash player installed)

Please refer the link for more info Flash Player Help

Thanks!

The item in the screenshot you posted is the Flash Player Settings Manager.  Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player in IE/Edge on Windows 10 the Settings Manager is present in the Control Panel.  This cannot be removed via the uninstaller.  Since Microsoft embeds Flash Player they lock the files so they cannot be easily removed.  Deleting these files by force can have unintended consequences should you want to 'reinstall' Flash Player (there is no installer for Flash Player for IE/Edge on Windows 10).
