Very often it's just as simple as dragging the app to the Trash and then emptying the trash.

Sometime an app will have an uninstaller that will take care of the app and most associated files. Depending on what the app is, you may wish to visit the developer's website for uninstall guidance.

Some apps cannot be removed. The apps that are installed with the OS are examples of that.
