Whilst in theory just deleting the app should do the job some companies are not behaving well in the way they are installing stuff. I thought I had uninstalled some apps but clean my Mac found considerable amounts of stuff left over. A particular culprit in my case was Infovox which left loads of junk on my Mac which needed cleaning up not just in terms of files but start up stuff which was no longer necessary.

Having said this, however, it pays to get an app such as app trap to remove all the parts and bits of an app, just in case. There are quite a few of these out there to choose from. When you install this app, it's a preference pane within system prefs, and when you uninstall an app, it makes sure the entire thing is gone from your mac. hth, Caitlyn ps-I can't remember whether I got this from the mac app store or googled it..
