Silent uninstall of McAfee

Does any one know of a way to SILENTLY uninstall McAfee? I have the uninstall string and can launch the uninstall, but that launches a confirmation prompt. Evidently it was not installed via Windows installer because it is not returned in the list generated with the command WMIC PRODUCT NAME GET.
I am attempting to automate much of the process my company uses to provision PCs after upgrading from Windows 7 to Windows 10, We no longer use McAfee and therefore it will get uninstalled... whether I do it programmaticly or we do it manually. Just trying to improve the process
I looked at https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB58231, as mentioned by DavidPostill. Unfortunately I don't have those registry keys. I am testing on a Windows 10 system on which I am trying to uninstall McAfee LiveSafe using this uninstall string found in the registry:
C:Program FilesMcAfeeMSCmcuihost.exe /body:misp://MSCJsRes.dll::uninstall.html /id:uninstall
It does start the uninstall, but I can't avoid the confirmation screen even with /silent.
I am also trying to uninstall McAfee WebAdvisor using this uninstall string found in the registry: C:Program FilesMcAfeeWebAdvisorUninstaller.exe.

I have used /silent before, but that did not do it in this case.
