Why do the Warning Console message popup

I've installed an app from App Store, run it and found not quite what I wanted, then put it in the bin. Searched my MAC again for the application, saw 3 folders with Crash word and the application name associated with it, put all into BIN.


Then I noticed the Warning Console messages icon on the Dock, so I clicked on it found thousands and thousands of messages kept going, non-stop. I shut down and restarted, the Warning Console messages still there, which I removed from the Dock again, and rebooted.


Any possibility my machine being hacked?

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15

That is just an icon that is used for console logs. It isn't actually a warning.

The Console is filled with hundreds of thousands of entries.
