Uninstalling Graphviz in mac is just a different approach than in Windows OS.

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

Graphviz Bundles – The Application Bundle

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