There may not be any specific folder. Look for the Apps in the Applications folder and drag them to the trash from there.


Also, there is no official Youtube App or Sheets App for Mac from Google, so any app you may have for that is likely a 3rd party app which would not be found with other Google made apps or is just a web app you created from Safari.


Web Apps won't appear in the Application Folder in Finder, but can be deleted by pressing and holding on them, and then clicking on the x in the corner in the Launchpad directly.


They can be removed from the Dock too by dragging them off, or selecting the Remove from Dock option from the right click menu under Options.
