A Newbie question - how do I remove software? I can't find the equivalent of the PC "Uninstall" - do I just drag the application file to the trash?

Thanks

Dragging to the trash will uninstall an app, if you like the idea of cleaning out the preference files and any other dependence as well then AppZapper or AppCleaner can do that

Yes, just drag the application to the Trash. If you wish to use a more complete uninstaller - one that will find and remove preference files and other small files that may be associated with the application, try "AppCleaner". It's free. (donation ware)
