Default How to uninstall Avid Link - Mac

Hi guys,
Where is the uninstaller located for Avid Link on a Mac ?
Note; Im using Pro tools; 2021.6.0
Mac; Mojave 10.14.6

(I think it used to be under 'Avid' in application support, but i no see it there since I updated Pro-Tools to 2021.6.0 ?)

PS; also , another question;

I keep getting repeated update available notifications from avid link, via my MAC's notification pop ups?
.., but when i open Avid Link , it annoys me that i search high and low , in each and every conceivable location within that Avid Link APP ,

- and I fail to find a single mention anywhere within the Avid Link APP regarding an update?

Thanks all

It's in the Avid Uninstallers folder in Applications, not Application support

Another way around is to use Kate Wards excellent guide for stopping Avid Link from starting at boot: https://blog.forestent.com/2020/01/0...rting-at-boot/

Wasn't it mentioned somewhere in the update notes that Avid Link app was also improved?

I find it amazing that they put out that app that is able to use up 20%-30% of the system resources on your computer when checking in the iStats Menu. Shouldn't that be part of the QC of v1.0?
