Remove "PDF Converter Free" from my iMac?

I installed this PDF Converter Free app on my iMac a few years ago, but want to get rid of it. It comes from Wondershare Technology Group and the App Store wants to update it. I don't want to. I want to remove it. How do I do this? Below is a screen shot from the App Store.


iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.13

Using Trash:

Downloaded from the App Store or not should play no role in the method of removal. So, if there's no uninstaller, then just Drag-&-Drop it into the Trash. Does that get the job done?

Yes, it did get the job done.

It wasn't easy because I couldn't find the app. In desperation I searched for it in Trash, and was overjoyed when I found it there. Evidently the App Store realised it was somewhere in the computer (including Trash), so kept asking me to update it. Anyway, I dragged it to Trash and had to repeat this again, to remove it from my backup drive as well.

Thanks for the simple suggestion.
