Generally there are three ways to do it.


  1. Check with the app developers to see if they have a utility to uninstall their app, do this first.
  2. Drag the app to the Trash and then empty the Trash.
  3. You can use a third party app tool such as App Cleaner to uninstall apps.


Almost always, I use #2.
