They are just symlinks to the tools in the app bundle, placed in /usr/local/bin. Open a Terminal window, and type (or better yet, paste) each of these lines:

which edit

(the result of this should be "/usr/local/bin/edit", in which case the next three commands will do the job)

sudo rm /usr/local/bin/edit
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/twdiff
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/twfind

You may be prompted for the admin password for the first rm command, because that directory typically isn't writeable by non-admin users.
