How do I go about uninstalling Proton Drive (Mac)? (lemmy.ml)

Proton Drive has decided to duplicate about a thousand files on me. It has also decided to stop syncing properly. Not sure what the issue is but it's broken. I've restarted it, reinstalled it, restarted my computer (Mac). It keeps saying that it synced X minutes ago but it's very evident that there are files present on the web version that are not on my computer. There should be no reason for these files to be missing. And there's files my Finder says "this file doesn't exist" even though it does.

So, I'm in the process of (1) deleting the duplicates and (2) downloading all my files from Proton Drive on the web.

If I decide I still want to use Proton Drive after this disaster, what's the best way to remove the app and the directory from my computer in order to start over again - ideally by syncing the files from the web to my computer.
