Folks, Thanks for the feedback, the trash bin was empty and both suggested pieces of software appear to require the existence of the original application in order to trash it, (I of course had trashed the App so it was no longer available.)
I also tried looking for remnants of the app in the preference files and application support file folders, and deleting these, still no joy. In the end I went to the Cannon website, downloaded an update to the app and installed it. All is now well. I did keep a copy of app trap for future use. Thanks, Steve.
