How to uninstall Programs on MacBook?

About Apple MacBook- the notebook for everyone

The MacBook is a brand of Macintosh notebook computers built by Apple Inc. First introduced in May 2006, it replaced the iBook and 12-inch PowerBook series of notebooks as a part of the Apple–Intel transition. Positioned as the low end of the MacBook family, the MacBook is aimed at the consumer and education markets.

It is the best-selling Macintosh in history, and according to the sales-research organization NPD Group in October 2008, the mid-range model of the MacBook was the single best-selling laptop of any brand in U.S. retail stores for the preceding five months.

There have been three separate designs of the MacBook: the original model uses a combination of polycarbonate and fiberglass casing that was modelled after the iBook G4. The second type, introduced in October 2008 alongside the 15-inch MacBook Pro, used a similar unibody aluminum casing to the 15-inch Pro, and was updated and rebranded as the 13-inch MacBook Pro at the 2009 Apple Worldwide Developers Conference in June 2009.[3] A third design, introduced in October 2009, uses a unibody polycarbonate shell as aluminum is now reserved for the higher-end MacBook Pro.


How to uninstall Programs on MacBook?
The PC and the Mac have many similarities and many differences. A PC user might swear that her computer is the best, while a Mac user will certainly tell her that she is incorrect. When it comes to installing programs onto a PC or a Mac, the process is similar (although each step is labeled very differently on the Mac than it is on a PC, which can be confusing for anyone who goes from using a PC to a Mac or vice versa). However, uninstalling programs on a Mac is a much faster procedure than doing the same on a PC.

Step by step guide to tell you how to uninstall Programs on MacBook:
Step1
Go to your Mac's desktop screen and double-click on the "Macintosh HD" icon. This will bring up contents such as Applications, System and Library. The icon will look like an external drive and will be silver or gray.

Step 2
Double-click on the "Applications" icon. This will bring up a list all of the applications or software on your Mac.

Step 3
Review the list of applications.

Step 4
Press and hold the "Ctrl" (control) button to bring up a table of options and actions.

Step 5
Click on the operation "Move to Trash." Or you can click on the software and simply drag it to the trash bin on your desktop. Both of these actions will delete the software.

Tips:
If you have the icon for the program that you want to delete on your desktop, then you can drag the icon to your trash bin to delete it.
Make sure that you delete all of the files that are associated with the program.
