Uninstalling app that was already uninstalled

I had the app Boardmaker which has been uninstalled on my mac but I can't get rid of TD updater on the top bar of my monitor (next to the bluetooth symbol, do not disturb icon, etc). TD updater is no longer visible under the application page, I can't find it anywhere in my finder, but it shows up on the activity monitor. Force quitting doesn't do anything. I can see the files and ports but don't know how to find these files and delete them. How can I delete this??

The easiest method here is to post the free EtreCheck report using the Additional Text option when posting. This will show the location of the background processes running on your computer from any of the 3 Launch folders. The report contains no personal information and is just easier than going back and forth through a bunch of screenshots.

In any case, if you want to manually look through your Launch folders yourself, here are the locations below. Open a Finder Window and choose the Go menu, followed by the Go to Folder menu item. Copy/Paste each of these locations below to that text box and don't forget the "~" character in the last one. The EtreCheck report does show the owner of the process which is helpful and you may not be able to tell by the file name alone. You don't want to just go through and delete files that you don't know what they are associated with. It will take a restart after deleting the file before the changes take effect.
