Unable to delete Apps from my MacBook Air

when I downloaded the sims4 game on my MacBook, other apps ended up downloading along with it, such as "Epic Games Launcher', 'CrashReportClient', and 'UnrealCEFSubProcess'. I have uninstalled these apps and have tried every single trick to delete them off my computer, however nothing seems to work. Hoping something will be able to help me

To be clear, did you move those apps to the Trash and then empty it? Also, some apps come with additional "parts" which are spread throughout the computer and these parts remain and can cause issues until hey too are removed. It is best to delete unwanted apps using an uninstaller provided by the app vendor. The uninstaller will normally remove everything. Second, another effective way to remove an app is by using the Appcleaner app. Open it and drag the app to be removed into its window. Then it will offer additional app bits which you then authorize if they have the same name. I hope this is helpful to you.
