I have a progam called TVU but it is not in the application folder, rather most is in User/Shared/TVU network. I normally drag a program from the Applications foler to the trash but it is not there sonot sure in this case. How can I safely delete it?

Use a third-party application, eg. AppCleaner, AppZapper, CleanApp (and others). The benefit of using those is that they search the entire system for files related to the application and send the lot to the trash.
