Or AppZapper or CleanApp. Any of the three mentioned to you will dig out the associated system files as well as the application. You choose what you want to do with the files. My favorite is CleanApp, but it's not free.
but the thing is that the app is not in the Application folder...
Like when u install Perian, it just goes to the System Preferences Panel, not in the App folder...
Just right-click on its pane in System Preferences and do the obvious.
There should be a preference file in your Library under Preferences, but it'd be very small in size and have no real impact on your system.
If you really want it out, you can root it out and delete it. If you really want to be sure everything is gone, you can try an app that will "uninstall" apps and preference panes for you. The only one worth spending money on is TinkerTool System. It has an uninstaller as part of its suite that is the only one I've seen that will root out user-specific support files for all user accounts on your computer. All the others only work with your user account. No big deal if you are the sole user though. But anywho… just select that preference pane from TinkerTool System's list and "uninstall" it from there.
I tried that already. Unfortunately the app stills work afterwards.
It keeps re-appearing. I am guessing it is because the app is still running.
I really want it out. I am a "clean system" freak. Thanks for that recommendation. Trying rooting it out, assuming my definition of rooting and yours are the same, but in vain.

you didn't happen to put the installer that you downloaded into your login items, did you?
It may well have installed itself there. A number of apps do, particularly those which use the inner workings of the OS. If the OP was required to enter his admin password on installing SnapRocket for the first time, there is a serious possibility that SR opens on system boot.
Concerning the login items, it is just a pointer to the program, right?
I don't think it would affect anything.
I'll give a go to everything you guys suggested.
Just to share my personal experience, some of the app cleaners are pretty bad at their job.
That's something Apple should develop better; removal of apps.
