I've been trying to uninstall Clipy for a few hours now. It still shows up in Spotlight Search.

I've gone with the usual steps (Drag to Trash > Empty Trash) and also deleted some preference files, to no avail.

Steps followed for uninstall

Detailed Steps:

  1. Move the application to the Trash:
    Open Finder and go to the Applications folder.
    Locate the Clipy application.
    Drag the Clipy icon to the Trash.
    Alternatively, you can right-click the Clipy icon and select "Move to Trash".

  2. Empty the Trash:
    Click on the Trash icon in the Dock.
    Click "Empty" in the Trash window.
    Confirm by clicking "Empty Trash".

  3. Remove preference files (Optional, but recommended for complete removal):
    Open Finder.
    Press Shift+Command+G to open the "Go to Folder" dialog.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences/ and press Enter.
    Locate and delete the com.clipy-app.Clipy.plist file.
    You can also delete the following folders if they exist: ~/Library/Application Support/com.clipy-app.Clipy and ~/Library/Caches/com.clipy-app.Clipy.

  4. Restart your Mac:

After deleting the files, restart your Mac to ensure all changes are applied.

Nevermind, it was in ~/Applications somehow, removing it from there worked.
