Many apps have an uninstaller. Sometimes it's in the app itself (check the Help menu or Settings menu), and sometimes it's inside the app's folder in Finder.


But often there's no uninstaller at all.


The safest advice I can offer is to check with the app's vendor site and see if they offer any instructions for uninstalling their app. (This is especially true for "nefarious" apps like CleanMyMac or most anti-virus apps).


The above advice is provided as the surest means of eliminating all the "support" files associated with the apps.


Barring the above, of course, is to go to Finder-->Applications, and drag the app to the Trash.


Hope this helps.
