Can't find cyberduck or FileZilla on my macOS Ventura

Hello

I installed cyberduck and FileZilla SFTP clients on my MBP M2 Max, Ventura. When I search for them through Spotlight, I can find them and launch them as well and they work fine. But I do not see them in my Applications folder.

I don't need them anymore and therefore want to remove them but can't locate them to remove them. I also tried couple of app removers to find these SFTP clients to remove them but as I said I can't find them.

So, if somebody can help me to either find them or uninstall them, that would be really helpful.

Thanks

Give this a try:

Open the Terminal app.
Then enter the following command: sudo find / -iname "ApplicationName" Replace "ApplicationName" with either cyberduck or filezilla
This command will search the entire filesystem for any files or directories related to the specified application and display them in the Terminal.
You can then, carefully, delete each associated item.

In addition to using Terminal, you might want to try this free program that does a fantastic job searching your disks using many sets of criteria that you can designate as needed.

Since you can launch either app via Spotlight, once they are running, you can Right-Click (Control-Click) on the app's icon in the Dock, and select "Option -> Show in Finder".

That is another way to find the folder an app is stored in.
