2I'm not a Mac guy but I was under the impression for normal apps you just put them in the trash. Is that not the same with ones from the Appstore? – Shinrai – 2011-03-03T16:51:02.457

Drag them into the trash, and empty it.

If you want to be really thorough, look in ~/Library/Preferences, ~/Library/Application Support and occasionally ~/Documents for files and folders bearing the application's name - these will be settings or cache files - and delete them.

Such a shame you can't uninstall them neatly like on the iPhone – TheLearner – 2011-03-03T17:16:21.653

Dragging them to the trash isn't neat? – Scott – 2011-03-03T17:55:50.590

2@TheLearner Being forced to delete all preferences and data isn't that neat either. – Daniel Beck – 2011-03-03T18:21:26.633
