Are you ready? To delete or uninstall a program on Mac OS X, go inside the “Applications Folder”, find the program that you want to remove, and then drag it to the “Trash”. Congratulations, you have just uninstalled an application in Mac OS X.
Easy right? But not too fast and don't just drag any program that you see to the Trash. There are Mac OS X applications that are installed by default like iTunes and Safari that you should think twice before removing. These are called bundled applications and you can identify them by control-clicking (right-clicking) them, and then you will see the "Show Package Contents" option. You will also know that it's a bundle if it has “.app” extension. It is not safe to remove this kind of application as it may cause other dependent Mac OS X applications to not work properly.
If you really want to use an uninstaller (Windows-style) on Mac, you may try AppTrap. It's free and you can get it HERE.
I guess that's all you need to know for now.
