That kinda depends on the app, but a good place to start looking is ~Library/Application Support/.

Click the Finder menu Go > Go to Folder and then enter this: ~/Library/Application Support

There you may find a folder that has been left behind by the app you deleted.


If you care to share the name of this mystery app, others may provide more focused guidance.
