How do you uninstall a program from mountain lion osx

Hi first time on mac forum
my question is being new to imacs how do you uninstal a program from an imac running osx mountain lion. And of course get rid of the icon for that program from launchpad
thanks

What app do you want to uninstall? If it's an app that is provided by the installation of OS X, e.g. Safari, Reminders, Notes, Mail, etc. - there are many others - they shouldn't be uninstalled.
If it is an app that was downloaded from the Mac App Store, in Launchpad click and hold its icon until it jiggles. Click on the 'x' in the corner to delete it.
If it's an app that was installed using an installer program it is always best to see if an uninstaller is available from the developer of the app (there is often an uninstaller bundled in with the installer package).
Other third party apps that are simply drag-installed into the Applications folder - like Skype, for example - can be just dragged to the Trash and will be deleted when the Trash is emptied.

Uninstalling Software: The Basics
Most OS X applications are completely self-contained "packages" that can be uninstalled by simply dragging the application to the Trash. Applications may create preference files that are stored in the /Home/Library/Preferences/ folder. Although they do nothing once you delete the associated application, they do take up some disk space. If you want you can look for them in the above location and delete them, too.
Some applications may install an uninstaller program that can be used to remove the application. In some cases the uninstaller may be part of the application's installer, and is invoked by clicking on a Customize button that will appear during the install process.
Some applications may install components in the /Home/Library/Applications Support/ folder. You can also check there to see if the application has created a folder. You can also delete the folder that's in the Applications Support folder. Again, they don't do anything but take up disk space once the application is trashed.
Some applications may install a startupitem or a Log In item. Startupitems are usually installed in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder and less often in the /Home/Library/StartupItems/ folder. Log In Items are set in the Accounts preferences. Open System Preferences, click on the Accounts icon, then click on the LogIn Items tab. Locate the item in the list for the application you want to remove and click on the "-" button to delete it from the list.
Some software use startup daemons or agents that are a new feature of the OS. Look for them in /Library/LaunchAgents/ and /Library/LaunchDaemons/ or in /Home/Library/LaunchAgents/.
If an application installs any other files the best way to track them down is to do a Finder search using the application name or the developer name as the search term. Unfortunately Spotlight will not look in certain folders by default. You can modify Spotlight's behavior or use a third-party search utility, EasyFind, instead.
Some applications install a receipt in the /Library/Receipts/ folder. Usually with the same name as the program or the developer. The item generally has a ".pkg" extension. Be sure you also delete this item as some programs use it to determine if it's already installed.
There are many utilities that can uninstall applications. Here is a selection:
    1. AppZapper
    2. AppDelete
    3. Automaton
    4. Hazel
    5. AppCleaner
    6. CleanApp
    7. iTrash
    8. Amnesia
    9. Uninstaller
10. Spring Cleaning

TS1702 How do you uninstall old programs you no longer use from iCloud ? I have a dozen I no longer use or never used!

Look I have uninstalled the old programs from all devices yet they stay on the iCloud why?
Most programs don't fit my needs or I no longer need them,
I'm going over seas for good most programs won't work in this country!
So I deleted all unnecessary programs such as shopping programs in this country that don't exist in this country?
You need to have a simple delete from iCloud button?
WHY IS APPLE SO SLOW IN MAKING THINGS SIMPLE TO DO???

The apps are always accessible in iCloud in the event that you want to download them again. If you have deleted them from your iPad then what's the problem?
If you are still running iOS 5, you can hide the purchased apps if it bothers you to see them in the purchased tab of the App Store? Is that what you are talking about anyway?
You did remove the apps that you don't want by tapping and holding down on the app icon until the X pops up correct?
If you are running iOS 5, read this.

How do you uninstall Citrix program? or delete from hard drive?

I use a Citrix plug in program with Safari to log into a VPN Hospital network. I downloaded an older plug-in that apparently is not supported in Mountain Lion. I moved it to the trash and emptied the trash. I then tried to reinstall the plug-in and my computer said it was already installed AND that the plugin only works with OS X ? Is this a glitch? Just want to clean up my hard drive.
PS the older plugin works with OS 10.7.4? Should I dare go backwards with my OS to gain Acess to the VPN of the hospital network? Or just wait?

If you still have the installer file and it comes in a .pkg or .mpkg format that's run by the Installer app, you can use the shareware Pacifist utility. It will let you dissect the installer file so you can determine where each little bit of code or data ended up and be able to wipe them all out.

How do you uninstall a program on a mac

...........?

The other guys covered it pretty well, but I will add that if you drag an app to the trash, it probably will leave behind pref files that may or may not be corrupted and possibly cause problems later. For this reason, whenever I drag an app to the trash, I use Spotlight to find any files that the app might have left behind.

How do you uninstall programs?

This is my first time using a Mac, so I'm still learning how everything works. It took me a while to discover you had to drag programs to the "Applications" folder to install them.
How would I uninstall a program? Is it a simple matter of dragging the program to the "Trash", or is it more involved like it is on Windows?

For a few applications, to completely eradicate them you can do spotlight searches to find helper applications associated with the app you're trying to fully delete. For instance, if you want to get rid of Photoshop, there are a few of updater programs and internet plugin files that are associated with photoshop that you'll have to search for (or find some other way) and uninstall. Luckily, most apps bundle the helper programs in them (such as iTunes and the iTunesHelper app) so if you delete the main application, all the others go with it. I love that OS X can have very complex applications all wrapped up in one package instead of requiring uninstallers. However, for system enhancing utilities (preference panes, etc) the apps have to bury plugins and extensions in the system folders, but as folks mentioned these usually come with uninstallers.

I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

I have Lotus Traveler installed on my S5. It's having problems and I want to uninstall it but I'm unable to. How can I uninstall the program?

Are you unable to uninstall it from the app manager in the main settings menu? How about long pressing the app in the app drawer and dragging up to the notification bar? Does the app have a phone admin property checked in Settings-Security-Phone administrators? Sometimes, if it does, apps will not uninstall until unchecked.
