How to delete Logic Pro X and reinstall

When I first downloaded the program, I did a lot of plugin moving around on the computer from watching youtube vids and now regret it. I would like to completely remove the app and all the contents, files associated with it, then re-download the program. Wanted to know if there is a recommended step-by-step process to do this?

Reinstalling won't help, there are several files as well as All third party plugins that will not be uninstalled.

One thing you can do is reset all Logic preferences to default. Look un the upper left Logic Pro Menu: Preferences/Reset all preferences to default except key commands. Under the same Logic pro menu select Control Surfaces: select Rebuild Defaults. Quit Logic, Restart the computer, let Logic do it's thing when it starts. See if this corrects any of the problems... speaking of which, include more info. Mac OS? Logic version? What is Logic doing to warrant wiping the slate clean?

macOS Monterey version 12.3.1/ Logic Pro 10.7.4 So I watched some YouTube videos when I first downloaded Logic and they suggested moving a bunch of the plugins to save space on the hard drive (which I did) and I feel like there's more on here than I actually need. I've never purchased any 3rd party plug ins and I've only recorded a handful of songs that I export to my external hard drive. I did try to open and use logic and got "The file couldn't be opened b/c it isn't in the correct format" error when opening an old project. I clicked preferences but there was no option for "reset all". When I opened Logic it started a download so I thought it was updating but the program won't open any of my previous projects.
