Update:
Uninstalled in Programs & Features, which was v2.5.4 and needed just the
once. List entries left behind so W10 asked if I wanted to delete them
- said yes x3. Registry entries now gone, apart from multiple entries
in a list of installed software compiled by another app on my system
(not sure why it's doing that, further investigation to follow!)
Deleted all the entries in ProgramData and rebooted
Installed v 2.5.4, now all seems to be OK with just the single entry for
2.5.4 everywhere.

Hi, in doing some end of year computer housekeeping, under W10 (latest
update), I noticed that in Programs and Features I have WSJT-X
versions 2.5.2, 2.5.3 and 2.5.4 showing. I haven't had time to look
at the current RC's so they aren't installed.
If I try to uninstall 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 it asks if I want to uninstall
2.5.4 so these older one are clearly orphan entries. I found the
registry keys for 2.5.2 and 2.5.3 so can delete those manually, but
then what happens with 2.5.4 which doesn't have an entry?
Under the Start button I have entries for WSJT-X 2.0.0, 2.3.0, 2.3.0
rc1 and 2.3.0 rc3 The entry for 2.3.0 only has links to web pages but
the others have a link to start the app, and if clicked they take me
to version 2.5.4, but there is no entry in the list for version 2.5.4
itself. These are not in the registry but are located in ProgramData,
and so far as I can tell every version I've installed, including the
RC's, going back to 2.0.0 still has an entry in that list even if not
showing in the W10 UI!
Looks like the WSJT-X installer script maybe isn't cleaning up old
versions properly, at least on my machine?
In my 3rd party clean-up software I see an entry only for 2.5.2 so I'm
tempted to do a manual deletion of all these various entries, followed
by a reinstallation of 2.5.4?
