Hi,
Dont know if it had a uninstall string... but you could do the same for office as for express VPN

$UninstallStrings = ((Get-ItemProperty "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\*") |
Where {$_.DisplayName -like "Express vpn?????"} |
Select UninstallString).UninstallString

ForEach ($UninstallString in $UninstallStrings) {
$UninstallEXE = ($UninstallString -split '"')[1]
$UninstallArg = ($UninstallString -split '"')[2] + " DisplayLevel=False"
Start-Process -FilePath $UninstallEXE -ArgumentList $UninstallArg -Wait
}

Could you share the contents of where it was installed? Does it have a uninstall.exe in it? does it work to call up on the exe file and add /uninstall /quiet /norestart?

You can uninstall Express VPN by booting your system to safe mode. (remember boot only in safe mode not in safe mode with networking)

once you are in safe mode:-

1. sign in 

2. go to file manager

3. select your c drive

4. go to program files(x86)

5.And find the express vpn folder 

6. right click and delete it. and finally remove it from your recycle bin.

once you are done restart your system normally. if in case you see the icon still just delete the icon.

i have tried this and it has worked.

Hope it will solve your problem
