Searching through the Spotlight is another way of finding remnant files. The system will show you all items that refer to it; you can now remove them. Remember to empty the trash bin to eliminate the leftovers completely. First, learn any Readme files coming with an app. In case the app has no special uninstall utility attached, all you need to do is send its main folder into Trash and empty Trash right after.
Locate them through the Finder, the Search box or the Spotlight by typing the apps name or its software company in, and send everything to Trash. Empty the Trash bin after.
