How to Remove the Keepvid Process?

So I downloaded Keepvid awhile ago and I found it pretty useless so I deleted it. I removed the folders and everything but when I check my battery usage, there's still a process running called "Keepvid Music Helper". I don't know why it's still there and I don't know how to remove it completely.

I went to the process and check it's path, and when I put it through Terminal, it says 'No such file or directory".

Is there another way to remove this process?

P.S Another question, I left my battery to charge overnight because I wanted it to run TimeMachine, does it mess with the battery and cause it to shorten?

I've been using it for roughly 2 hours, is it normal to lose 40%?

MacBook Pro, macOS Sierra (10.12.4)

Hi,

Download Find Any File > search for keepvid > drag to trash from the results window > empty trash.

No, that doesn't harm the battery in any way. Charging turns itself off when the charge reaches 100%.

That's a lot to lose over two hours, but not unheard of. What apps/processes are running? Display brightness, etc.?

Try resetting the SMC: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201295.

Hello!

Thanks for getting back. I have already searched and delete anything from KeepVid but that process is still reoccurring. I have searched in Spotlight to make sure there was no file from them anymore. I also emptied the trash and the process was still there.

And on the course of two hours, I had Google Chrome opened. My brightness is usually 6 blocks and it was just Chrome.
