I'm not sure about the goal you expect. If you want to fully remove PrimoCache before connect the drive to another computer, you should uninstall PrimoCache. Simply deleting the PrimoCache program folder will not stop caching because PrimoCache works at the driver level.

so there is no separate control to simply migrate from ssd cache to HDD to ensure it is safe to remove a HDD? For example I want to continue using Primocache with the other HDDs...

As I understand, the topic is talking about the removal of the system HDD where PrimoCache is installed. If you means the normal HDDs, you can safely remove them. No additional actions are needed. If you means that migrating the system HDD to another computer and still using it as the system HDD, it is recommended that stop caching first.
