I have been running BI5 since it released but I never removed BI4 from my PC. Is there any reason BI5 didn't remove it during install? Is there any reason to still have it installed? Can I remove it?

You can remove it, But I left my BI4 installed also...at least until I was familiar with Bl5. I have plenty of disc space, so I am going to keep it for now.
 
You might want to read this first:
 
BI4's uninstall process removes your entire BI config and registration, even if you tell it not to. So you have to restore it from a backup. Safer to just delete the BI4 files.

I deleted everything Blue Iris 4 that the PC search found but when I go to uninstall programs Blue Iris 4 is still listed. What did I miss?

Probably still in the registry somewhere. Someone here likely can tell you which entry to delete there.
