You can remove the app by tossing it in the Trash. It is possible that there
are other files in places like /Library/Application Support, or files in
your Home directory. It depends on the app. But there is no special
uninstall procedure to follow, except for those apps which install startup
items. In such cases, their installers may be able to uninstall everything.
