Uninstall programs

[macornomac]

Hey guys I'm going to get rid of some programs on my macbook because I'll never use them and want to clear up some room. Right now I have a 97gb of space on a 120gb hard drive. i'm going to get rid of mail, garageband, idvd, imovie, address book, ichat, iphoto, iweb, and ical. So with all these do I just drag and trash????? Are there any hidden files with these??? Thanks guys.

Not sure about hidden files b/c I am still new to Macs, but I use AppDelete to get rid of things, just in case. There's another one, but I think that is a pay program. AppDelete is free!

So is Appdelete pretty safe to download and use??? I mean does it tie up anything on the mac? What about after deleting all those programs how do I delete the Appdelete haha

i use appzapper..which is really good just drag into the application and "zap it" (moves the contents to the trash where you can delete it from your HD)

Yeah I heard about that program too but you have to pay for that one I think. Appdelete sounds good but just wondering what others opinions are on it.
