Background item added days after uninstalling NoMachine

[AlexIE]

I have the same issue as this thread:  https://forum.nomachine.com/topic/background-item-left-behind-after-uninstall

I uninstalled by dragging the app to the trash.  Now, several days later, a background task was added by NoMachine S.a.r.L.  This is problematic behaviour to say the very least.

NoMachine 8.16.1, MacOS 15.4.1, Macbook Pro M4

Please advise on proper, full uninstallation instructions.

Hello, it would be useful to know (the same questions as the other topic):

In which way did you uninstall NoMachine:

1) moved NoMachine.app to trash bin?
2) removed /Applications/NoMachine.app dir from terminal?
3) removed /Applications/NoMachine.app dir from SSH session?

Did you see message boxes requesting password and administrative privileges for NoMachine Uninstall?

Do you still have /Library/Application Support/NoMachine/var/log. If yes, could you pack the dir and send to forum[at]nomachine[dot]com?

Could you send also output from commands:

which bash

ls -l /bin/bash

id nx
