No one has responded to your question which is a surprise since it seldom happens. I do not have O/S 9.0.4. I can therefore only say things which you could explore and see if they work.
1 If it is a text file drag the file to Trash and empty the Trash.
2 If it is not a text file and you have done the installation with an Installer, then open it again and see if it has an Uninstaller. The way to look for an Uninstaller is to double click the Installer. A window should open and there should be a panel in the top left corner with text like Easy Install and there should be a little arrow pointing downwards. Take the cursor to this arrow and click on it once. Keep the mouse button pressed. A pop-up window should open and if there is a button Uninstall, take the cursor to this button while keeping the mouse button pressed, the Uninstall button would be hilited, that is it would turn dark, leave the mouse button then and follow the instructions which appear on your Desktop.
3 If you do not have an Installer or there is no Uninstaller, download MacUser'sInstallTracker. It is freeware and very good to uninstall anything. I hope it works on O/S 9.0.4 but if you use it be very careful. It would list all the files created by that Creator application which could include files that you might not want to delete. So delete files one by one and send deleted files to Trash. You can recover them from the Trash if you make a mistake. This option is available in the Preferences.
4 There should be something in the Extensions Manager of your O/S 9.0.4 to let you uninstall applications. Open the Control Panels Folder and see if you can find anything in the Extensions Manager in the Control Panels Folder. It is in the System Folder.
5 You could also post your question on some other forum like New Users Forum of macfixit.com.
