Uninstalling GIMP in mac is just a different approach than in Windows OS. Windows OS provides a option to uninstall application or application manufactures provides uninstaller with the application.

STOP this is not the end there is more to properly uninstalling the GIMP from your machine.

GIMP Bundles – The Application Bundle

Drag & Drop leaves the associated files of GIMP application. Normally, it is thought that all the associated files of a application is saved in the one folder but it is not so. GIMP supported files & preference files are saved in other location than the GIMP Package folder. So you need to get all these files deleted manually. Deleting all the left overs of GIMP is not that easy, you need to find all the location where GIMP has saved the files. Some of the location where GIMP would have saved the files are ~/Library/Preferences/[] ~/Library/Application Support/[]
