Deleting Apps

[lovestruck]

New Mac user (13"rMBP late2013)..and I want to delete some Apps..including iBooks.
Do I just drag them to the Trash ( or use 2 finger tap to get the context menu then send to trash )..will that get rid of the whole thing or does it need a separate uninstall as Windows software does?

Probably a dumb question but have searched and not found the answer and don't want to leave bits and pieces of software hanging around.
Thanks

drag to trash, or delete like you are doing works.

*shouldn't* be anything else left.. sometimes there is though.
there are commercial/free apps that will "clean up" stuff that may be left, not really needed though.
Appcleaner/appzapper etc. (I haven't used one in ages so I'm not even sure which ones work best)

Apple Apps I don't think you can delete..

Many "app cleaner" apps leave stuff behind.

This is the best way to completely delete an app.

I use AppCleaner (free), so that I can see what gets deleted. I don't care if something else is sometimes left behind.

(I made a backup of the deleted files, though)
