How to Uninstall Octave 5.0.1? - Windows 10

First things first:

1. Went to wiki page  here.
<http://wiki.octave.org/Octave_for_Microsoft_Windows>  

2. Clicked this link:  Link <https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/octave/windows/>  
<http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/file/t373247/OctWiki.png> 

3. Installed Octave from this .zip file at the bottom:
<http://octave.1599824.n4.nabble.com/file/t373247/Octave_Install.png> 


I now want to uninstall Octave entirely. Unfortunately, it doesn't appear in
my Add/Remove Program list. Additionally there is no uninstall.exe or
similar file in the installation directory. 

Looking through the online documentation  here
<https://octave.org/doc/interpreter/Installing-and-Removing-Packages.html#Installing-and-Removing-Packages>
  
on octave.org, the only mention of 'uninstalling' anything is in section
37.1 for 'Installing and Removing Packages'. 

Frankly, I'm wildly inexperienced in programming, and don't really know what
a 'package' even is. I see that the >>pkg list command will show me a list
of maybe 40 'packages' I have installed. Is uninstalling all the packages
the same as uninstalling Octave? Do I uninstall all the packages then just
delete the installation directory?

In my mind I'm thinking for example, 'When I install Microsoft Word it is
installed to a program directory, shows up in my add/remove programs, and
when I click uninstall, all of its components are removed from my computer,
and the associated program files deleted'. How do I perform the equivalent
of this for Octave?
