There's many ways of doing this.
What application do you want to uninstall?

Well, it's been almost a week so.

You can remove (or uninstall) applications via the command line by executing the command:

sudo apt-get remove <package-name>

where package name is the application to remove. You can delete its configuration files as well by executing

sudo apt-get purge <package-name>

You can also remove applications using Synaptic Package Manager (System > Administration > Synaptic Package Manager) or the Ubuntu Software Center.

Does that answer your questions?

Can you help with this problem?
