MAMP has a specific uninstaller in the disk image you installed with. Mount that disk image and you should see the uninstaller. Go here for more information.

For the rest of your apps that don't have specific uninstallers, use AppZapper, which is a nice utility. There are a few alternatives (CleanMyMac has a built in function for this) http://www.appzapper.com/

    I would advise against using AppZapper if it's got an uninstaller built for it. Try Applications/MAMP Pro/... and see if the uninstaller is there. Commented Aug 13, 2012 at 21:42
  • actually there is the uninstaller, but if i try to do use that, after inserting the password i get "Error - the privileged action failed" Commented Aug 14, 2012 at 11:58

Go to the Applications (it should be in the sidebar of the Finder) and drag the app into the trash from there.

There are a few issues with uninstalling MAMP; I found a blog post that details what you need to do to fully uninstall MAMP here which refers to a Stack Overflow answer here
