If they are apps you downloaded from ther App Store, you can go to app store via the App Store.app. Once it is open click on your account in the lower left corner

and it will reveal all your downloads. Hover over the app you want to delete and a circle with three horizontal dots will appear. Click on it and you will see "Delete" as well as other things you can do.

App Store apps are typically well sandboxed. Most apps that you download directly, especially those that use an installer, leave bits and bobs behind. The advice from Owl-53 to check with the developer is spot on, for example:


https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/product-delivery/remove-reinstall-turbotax-mac/L6xLWlabw_US_en_US


...lists all the locations in the ~/Library folder where those bits and bobs are saved.


Other developers (e.g. Adobe) provide an uninstaller along with the app.
