On macOS, the usual method to uninstall an application is to drag the application's icon from the Applications folder to the Trash bin. This removes the application from the system. The other options are not standard methods on macOS. There is no Uninstaller utility in System Preferences; while some applications come with their own uninstallers, this is not common. Deleting application files using Finder may leave behind associated files. Uninstalling applications via the App Store is not a typical process for removing applications.
