Uninstalling GnuPG on Mac OS X

I recently tried installing GnuPG on MacOS High Sierra v10.13.3

After getting frustrated, I attempted to uninstall GnuPG by moving all folders I had downloaded associated with it to the Trash.

However, when I'm in terminal and I type in

    gpg

I get the response:

    gpg: WARNING: no command supplied. Trying to guess what you mean...
    gpg: Go ahead and type your message ...

At which point I have to use ctrl+z to stop the process, and which leads me to believe that GnuPG has not been fully uninstalled off my system.

Is there something I'm missing for uninstalling GnuPG? I'm wondering why I no longer receive a response like this:

    -bash: gpg: command not found

Thanks

This worked for me:

Download the .dmg from here https://gpgtools.org/ then mount it and then double click the "Uninstall" icon.

It will ask you for your password and then it should uninstall the app and the commandline tool.
