    I have the free downloaded version of Sopho's home edition. It is interferring with my computer and I want it removed.

    There is no "uninstall" button. I search for it, and there is only the install option. I found it in my applications, and I trashed it. I deleted my trash. It is still on my computer.  I want it off of my computer. 

    This is usually, in my experience, all you need to do. I thought things like this came with an uninstall package. If all else fails, I thought completely trashing it's contents would do the trick. Obviously, I am a moron. And now I have to register for this site so that I can get your product off of my computer.

    Now. Anyone know what I am doing wrong? Because the first posts instructions are not helpful/ no longer apply to this addtion.
