@RunoE used a different approach (via the Terminal.app command line) in order to remove the “BraveSoftware” folder:
(I suggested: Quit Brave Browser BEFORE running that Terminal.app window command.)

Three Mac OS Crash Reports have been posted re “failure to launch” problem. Brave Browser was the cause of all three crashes. (Also, Siri is having a problem; see “Siri troubles” later, below.)
OP by @RunoE
New mac, Brave Browser quit unexpectedly
PS: Over time, I found that it has been a good idea, to Restart a computer before installing an application, and letting the computer settle down a while (after the Restart), before running the installation. (For Windows OS machines, create a System Restore Point, before that installation.)

@Steve122 – Not picking on you . . . just considering your M1 Crash Report as an example: Your computer appears to have been brought out of Sleep, prior to the Brave Browser installation; but, better to do a Restart before installing.
You might consider Disabling Siri involvement with Brave Browser. You could Re-Enable, later, when things settle down, if you wish.
Happed to me. Open terminal and type in “sudo rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/BraveSoftware”
like @289wk said I recommened closing the brave browser first.
