Hi, 

I just upgraded to Catalina on my Mac, and I already knew that I wouldn't be able to use my old versions on the computer anymore. However, I didn't realize I wouldn't be able to uninstall them either. What is the best way to remove the old programs? Do I just drop them in the Trash and Erase? Thanks!

I think the best way is to revert to your old OS that supported 32-bit helper apps like the uninstallers and CC  Cleaner tool.  Otherwise, you have to wipe off old files manually.
