Maybe this screenshot will help. This is in Device Manager, with hidden devices turned on:

What a giant load of poo poo here, no doubt.

I suppose you could backup your device manager:

and then remove all the Bluetooth stuff and let them reload and see if it fixes any of the issues.

Backing that up is a very good idea: however, the thing I'm currently struggling with is the removal part, which Windows seems doggedly determined to prevent. Is there a way to delete all this stuff that I haven't figured out?

If you have old system restore points you could try restoring back to before this issue happened.

If that's not an option then disconnecting the problem Bluetooth peripherals and then right-clicking on individual Bluetooth devices (in device manager) and selecting uninstall device should remove stuff. Depending on how much needs to be deleted it could get a little tedious.
