Hey I just got my Mac Mini a few weeks ago. I have an easy question. Is there a special way to uninstall programs or do you just put them in the trash? I know that some programs give you the option to uninstall, but some don't. Thanks so much.
 
Just put it in the Trash. Almost all Mac apps are self contained. If you really want to be very clean look for a preference file in ~/Library/Preferences.
 
unless its an MS app 🙄 . WMP has locked files inside it, so you'll need to hold down the option key when you empty the trash to get rid of it.
