How to completely uninstall Android Studio on Mac

I recently downloaded Android Studio on my Macbook Pro and I messed up with it every time I open it  It gives me plugin errors and several other errors  I need to uninstall it completely from my mac  I tried to delete it from my mac and then install it again as if you would do the first time  but it did nothing and now the same problems occur   How can I manage to remove it completely and install a fresh one again

Some of the files individually listed by Simon would also be found with something like the following command  but with some additional assurance about thoroughness  and without the recklessness of using rm -rf with wildcards   find       -path   Library Caches Metadata Safari -prune -o     -iname   android  studio   -print -prune   Also don t forget about the SDK  which is now separate from the application  and    gradle   see vijay s answer

You may also delete gradle file  if you don t use gradle any where else   rm -Rfv    gradle    because  gradle folder contains cached artifacts that are no longer needed
