If you right-click and choose Uninstall on a packaged app (from the app store), it uninstalls immediately.

If you right-click and choose Uninstall on a legacy program (installed from a download, CD, etc.), then it sends you to the control panel so you can manually launch the program’s uninstaller.

If you want, you can also put APPWIZ.CPL into your Run box to reach the old «Add/Remove Programs» control panel (what you’d see in Windows 7 for example).

But if the program didn’t register an uninstaller, or the uninstall entry is missing for another reason, then it gets a bit harder. If that’s the case (you don’t see the listing for it), then I’d go here first: Fix problems that block programs from being installed or removed and try that diagnostic tool.
