Delete the app by dragging it to the trash normally. Delete the profiles under your /users/yourname/Library/Support Files/ folder for PrusaSlicer. You can also delete user profiles by checking the appropriate box in the PrusaSlicer configuration wizard.

RE: How to delete profiles or clean uninstall Prusaslic3r in Mac
I have the latest stable release of PrusaSlicer installed on my MacBook Pro (Catalina) and I never use the Drag-to-trash method to uninstall an app. Because this quick fix has a significant drawback - all the application’s service files will be left behind on your Mac. These files will continue to consume storage space while the app was removed.
To remove PrusaSlicer or other bloated application completely, you need to remove its executable file and all the service files stored in ~/Library and /Library folders (as mentioned in this guide ).
Here is list of the most common folders that store PrusaSlicer orphans:
~Library > Application Support
~Library > Caches
~Library > Logs
~Library > Preferences
~Library > Containers
~Library > Cookies
Many thanks,
