It depends if the sysadmin is running a report and looking for machines without it. If you have an environment that has good IT hygiene it will probably just get installed again by JAMF or whatever manages your devices.
If you are having trouble and getting "permission denied", before trying to remove anything try running /usr/local/McAfee/fmp/bin/fmp stop

sudo /usr/local/McAfee/uninstall EPM, as seen at https://kc.mcafee.com/corporate/index?page=content&id=KB88461, before running any of the commands given here.
