Uninstalling apps

I downloaded a couple of free apps to Transfer Video to Disc without watermark, and they were hopeless. So l dragged them into the bin. However l wonder if that's the correct way to get rid of them?

Do l need to do something to completely get rid of any record or outstanding files, cluttering my imac?

There are several methods to uninstall apps:


First is visit the developers site or look in the app itself to see if there are uninstall instructions.

Second, move the app to the Trash and empty the Trash.

Third, use an app such as AppCleaner to uninstall.


In most cases steps 1 & 2 are just fine.
