Unless you download some sort of an app uninstaller-- you're going to have to manually delete the .plist as well as the app bundle when you want to completely remove your app.

We have something similar, and what we did is made a bash script that goes through and rm -rf filenamehere of all the dependencies we wanted to also be deleted. Then to make things easier, add an alias to bash profile that will run the script on a cleanApp command.
