Hello, I recently installed Matlab R2019a on my Mac (macOS Mojave Version 10.14). I then deleted the previous version I used (R2017b) by moving MATLAB_R2019a.app to the Trash and then emptying the Trash. However, a few hours later, R2017b was back in my Applications folder. Since then I have repeated this several times, also after first deactivating R2017b, but every time R2017b gets back in my Applications folder, occupying 15 GB on my harddisk. How can I remove R2017b permanently? Thank you.

According to https://www.mathworks.com/help/install/ug/uninstall-mathworks-products.html deleteing the .app folder is sufficient. Does the contents vanish if you empty the trash? What exactly happens in "a few hours later"?

This means, that you have a Python process, which recreates the application folder to a certain state. I guess that the IT admin of your office has installed it to prevent you from uninstalling Matlab 2017b. Most likely there is a good reason to do so. If this is the case, ask her or him for help.
It is unlikely that your computer is infected by a virus, which loves this special Matlab version. But who knows...
Nevertheless, this is not a Matlab problem and it cannot be solved by Matlab software.

Do you have some automated process that restores the Applications folder from a backup like Time Machine? If you're in a corporate environment, check if your IT department has automatically enabled that for some reason.
