1. **Finder Method**:

   - Open a Finder window by clicking on the Finder icon in the Dock or by pressing Command + N.

   - In the Finder window, navigate to the "Applications" folder, which is usually located in the sidebar under "Favorites."

   - Scroll through the list of applications to find the one you want to delete.

   - Click on the application to select it, then drag it to the Trash icon in the Dock. Alternatively, you can right-click on the application and select "Move to Trash" from the contextual menu.

   - Once the application is in the Trash, right-click on the Trash icon in the Dock and select "Empty Trash" to permanently delete the application from your Mac.

2. **Launchpad Method**:

   - Open Launchpad by clicking on its icon in the Dock or by pressing the F4 key on your keyboard.

   - Find the app you want to delete. You can scroll through the pages of apps or use the search bar at the top to find it quickly.

   - Click and hold on the app's icon until it starts to jiggle.

   - Click on the small "X" icon that appears in the corner of the app's icon.

   - Confirm that you want to delete the app by clicking on "Delete" in the confirmation dialog that appears.

3. **App Store Method**:

   - Open the App Store on your Mac.

   - Click on your profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the App Store window.

   - Select "Purchased" from the dropdown menu to view a list of all the apps you've downloaded.

   - Find the app you want to delete and click on the "..." button next to it.

   - Select "Delete" from the dropdown menu.

   - Confirm that you want to delete the app by clicking on "Delete" in the confirmation dialog that appears.

After deleting an app, it's a good idea to empty the Trash to free up disk space on your Mac. Keep in mind that some apps may leave behind preference files or other associated files even after you delete the application itself. If you want to remove these files as well, you can use a third-party app like AppCleaner or manually search for and delete them yourself.
