Tell HN: Zoom runs application from Time Machine backup when uninstalled on Mac

I noticed something really peculiar this morning when I was invited to a Zoom meeting. I had uninstalled Zoom the night before but when I clicked the Join Meeting link, I was still prompted by the browser to open the zoom.us application. I went ahead and clicked OK to open it and I got the OSX popup: “You’re opening the application” zoom.us “for the first time. Are you sure you want to open this application?” (

I tested this with both Firefox and Chrome with the same results. Now I don’t know if this is an OSX specific issue, a browser issue, or a Zoom issue. Can anyone else confirm the same or similar behavior on Mac? If anyone can also shed some insight about this behavior, it would be much appreciated.
