Best Answer
Files created by apps are usually in
/Libraryand subfolders likesApplication Support,Caches...The files are not created by a specific user "AppName" but with your user account rights (or root one for some of them). So there is no way to locate App created files, unless if the app correctly named them.
So you can use the find command like that:

Grep command can work too:
