That isn't the application itself -- that's just the folder where the app stores all its settings and app data. This is in your user Library. Hold Option and click on the "Go" menu, and you'll see "Library" as an item. Then navigate to the Containers folder, and delete your app's folder.

That's all you need to do for any app from the Mac App Store. No need for "cleaning" apps, which can fail to delete everything, or delete the wrong thing just as easily as you.

Other apps that don't come from the Mac App Store might not be fully sandboxed, and so they will save files in the "old-fashioned" way: putting files in other subfolders of your library, like Preferences, and Application Support. Look in these folders for files/folders with your app's name, or bundle name (e.g. "com.companyName.appName.plist")

You have to give Full Disk Access to AppCleaner https://support.apple.com/guide/mac-help/mchl211c911f/mac
