Mac Apps: How does one clear the pre-existing game data from previous versions of your game?

Hi, I'm trying to output a Mac version of my game. That works fine, on the most part.
But, when I run a new version of my game, there are problems with it caused by the previous versions of my Mac game having already been run on my computer.
The same happens in HTML5 builds, but with those, you can run in Incognito Mode, and it runs as if it's a fresh install.
But on Mac, how do I "clear the cache" so to speak, as if I was running my game for the first time on that computer?
(Problems I'm experiencing are things like... the progress of my previous play through are still persistent when running a completely new build of the game, and some attributes don't work, if they were there in previous versions of the game, etc).
How do I just "flush it all out" and run my new builds as if I'd never had the game on my Mac before?

When you uninstall an app on your mac by moving it to the trash it does not get fully uninstalled. There are a lot of temporary files left behind so you could try uninstalling your app using an uninstaller like appcleaner and see if that does the trick for you. Please find the link below:

Found it.
You can delete your com.companyname.gamename from ~/Library/Containers, and that deletes all your "save data".
@neoman and @Hymloe Really worth knowing, thanks for the tip.
MY PLEASURE!!!
