Here's how to do it on the command line:
Open up your terminal, and run dpgk -l | grep $APPNAME, where `$APPNAME' is the name of the application you are looking for. This searches all of the packages installed on your computer.
The package names are listed in the second column. Pick the one you want to remove, then run sudo apt-get remove $PACKAGE_NAME, with the appropriate name substituted to remove the application.

With Ubuntu 16.04 you need to open up the Software center and click on installed, it will display a list of all the application you have installed on your system just click on the ones you want to remove and it will be removed
