How to uninstall App Store apps on macOS 26 Tahoe?

[AbidPatel]

On previous versions of macOS, to uninstall apps downloaded from the App Store, you would go into the launchpad, initiate jiggle mode and then tap the X to uninstall the app from the device.

The new Apps menu doesn’t appear to allow you to initiate jiggle mode. So, has anyone figured out how to "properly" uninstall apps installed from the App Store.

I could use a 3rd party tool like Raycast, but wondered if there was an "official" way.

I love PearCleaner. It works for all apps and removes all the files and directories created in Caches, Containers, etc.
It also attempts to identify orphaned files from previously deleted apps.

You have been able to use the Finder to delete apps going all the way back to the 68k era of Mac OS. If you want to make sure all remnants are removed as well, then tools such as AppCleaner do an excellent job of locating and removing leftover files.

I actually didn’t know there was any other way than Finder
