That's pretty much how you do it. Real simple. Here is some more on how to do that and other things http://theappleblog.com/2007/04/19/n...and-uninstall/

Yes, dragging your Mac into the trash is a good start

To delete things drag them to the trash can. To do a permanant delete, you can Control click the trash can and click empty trash without viewing its contents OR just click on the trash can and it will show you everything in there-if you want just a few gone you can select them and go to the drop down menu (gear-looking thing) and click empty trash there.

Hope that helps!
