to uninstall app, drag trash, or right-click , "move trash". sufficient uninstall app. however, apps leave files/folders behind, such preference lists, caches, etc. these have no effect on system, other taking drive space. if want rid of traces of app, effective method complete app removal manual deletion:

best way delete program​

however, careful deleting apps came pre-installed on mac. may find need or want of later. user files take more space on disk having apps installed, it's better leave pre-installed apps alone.
