I don't think emacs is proprietary software. Mobaxterm seems to be a packaging
of cygwin.
If the mxt3 file uses cygwin, emacs might be able to be uninstalled via cygwin
package manager.
Windows now supports Linux natively, however. So, one could for example,
install Ubuntu instead of cygwin and you would get a more recent version of
emacs available to you via apt package manager, under Ubuntu. The Ubuntu
community tends to be friendly and helpful.
