From what I've read, it probably required an uninstaller, which came with it. However, it's probably gone since I emptied the trash.
Using Windows, you just know that if you want to remove an application you have to go Control Panel and uninstall it. I figured it was a uniform process for the Mac too but I guess not.

Download AppZapper. Using this little app, you just drag the app you want to uninstall from your Applications folder to AppZapper's drop zone, and it will remove the application plus all the associated files automatically. This was definitely a little different for me when I first switched from Windows. I actually much prefer the Mac way of doing it now that I've learned how it works and started using AppZapper - no more uninstallers that fail halfway through and then require me to reinstall the application only to remove it again (I'm sure all of us past Windows sufferers have had that experience.  ).
