usually, you can just trash the application. it takes most or all of the corresponding files with it.

guaranga,

If you're concerned about the little hidden files, you can download AppTrap here: http://konstochvanligasaker.se/apptrap/ and when you trash an app, AppTrap will trash those extra files, too.

And it's free...

What all of the above said.

Some apps do come with uninstallers and if it there is one, I would recommend using it. Otherwise drag to the trash and empty.
