How do I uninstall programs from my MacBook Pro?

I am new to Mac and don't fully understand how to uninstall a program from my Macbook Pro. I've been having some problems with the Sims 3 (Probably some custom content that was bad) and I want to completely uninstall The Sims 3 from my laptop. How do I do this? I have heard that some people say to just delete the folder from my Applications, but being that I come from PC that doesn't seem like it gets rid of everything to me. Anything would be helpful. Thanks.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.1)

Here are the steps:


Manually Uninstalling The Sims 3 from a Mac

  1. Delete the /Applications/The Sims 3 folder (or any for a Stuff of Expansion pack).
  2. Delete the /Users/"User"/Library/Preferences/The Sims 3 Preferences folder.
  3. Delete the /Users/"User"/Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 3 folder.
    Note: This file can be saved as a backup to retain save games, simply rename it.
