Can't uninstall Visual Studio 2015 RC Community

I have been using visual studio 2015 RC community for a little while now, and I found that I can get the full enterprise edition for free from my University. But, after I uninstalled the community edition from the control panel, I still see it in my start menu and it runs as if nothing happened. I saw when searching online, to use the cmd with /uninstall /force but I don't know which application to use it on in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 14.0\Common7\IDE directory to use those on.

Please help me remove this IDE so I can reinstall it.

NOTE: search vs_community.exe instead of vs_enterprise.exe/vs_ultimate.exe

I hope this can help.
