I downloaded Local and then deleted the icon in the dowloads section on my Mac, as I always do with most stuff. I should have dragged it into the application folder.  
Anyway, I could not find Local anywhere so deleted virtualmachine and did a fresh install but keep getting, The application “Local by Flywheel” can’t be opened, everytime I download a fresh version.  
Clearly there is some remnant of it on my machine which is corrupting a new install. How do I remove it completely from my Mac so I can start afresh?  
Thanks in advance
