I am trying to uninstall an old version of Houdini (version 19.0) but the uninstaller both through the launcher and manually finding it in the Applications directory both result in an error. How can I uninstall it? The error I am getting is

Termination Reason:    Namespace DYLD, Code 1 Library missing
Library not loaded: /System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python
Referenced from: <XXXXXXX> /Applications/Houdini/*/Houdini Uninstaller.app/Contents/MacOS/Houdini Uninstaller
Reason: tried: '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (no such file), '/System/Volumes/Preboot/Cryptexes/OS/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (no such file), '/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (no such file, not in dyld cache), '/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/Python' (no such file)
(terminated at launch; ignore backtrace)

You probably installed it on an old macOS version that still had python2.7? macOS has since stopped shipping python 2. I think I'd just manually trash it from /Applications/Houdini/Houdini19....

Ok, that is probably what happened. I manually removed it, all good. And Houdini Launcher asked to remove it the next time I opened it after manual deletion of the application
