Newbie Q - uninstalling apps

[GraemeUK]

Hi guys,

Sorry for the newbie question but I'm very inexperienced with OS X.

I have just got my macbook and theres some programs like iWork trial and Office test drive. If I want to remove these programs, or indeed any others, are there proper uninstallers somewhere (like add/remove programs on Windows) or can you just delete the icon in the applications folder to delete everything? Does it not leave files behind doing it that way, like in the system folder or the registry etc

Cheers in advance

Thanks for the quick reply Justin. Its a shame on such a brilliant OS that they leave something like this out. I'm looking forward to Leopard, I hope they have something like this built in.

I do appreciate the sticky very much, it has helped me a lot in the switch from windows to os x.
