Sorry Brian,

In Windows, XE is installed using Install Shield. It registers itself as a 'software programa' that can be added and removed using the Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs 'plet

As described in

In the XE Install document, section 7 "Deinstalling Oracle Database XE" at http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25329_01/doc/install.102/b25143/toc.htm#CIHDDHJD

which the OP apparently did not find, presumably after extensive searching.
