Hi @Homer!
Since the Dash application has not been fully installed yet, the uninstallation process is slightly different. You'll want to utilize Activity Monitor on your Mac to Quit the Dash installer. I've included the full steps below:
- Navigate to Activity Monitor using your Mac's Spotlight functionality
- Locate Dash within Activity Monitor (you can search for Dash and that will bring up all instances)
- For each line, select the line and click the Force Quit button above it

- Be sure to empty the trash and restart your computer once you've completed the above, to ensure that Dash has been successfully removed

No, I downloaded and installed the Mac app, not a browser extension.
Has there been any solution to this? I have the exact same problem and I reached out to support and have not gotten a response
