Click the + button below the search term to add criteria Click the "Album" drop-down and select "System files" Click the "Don't include" and change to "include" Sort by name, kind, date, etc. to identify components of the app, such as folders, .plist files, cache files. etc. Delete all files and folders related to the app. Don't empty your Trash until you've determined that everything is working OK, in case you need to restore something you deleted by accident. A reboot might be necessary to completely remove some apps.
