You can also go to "Settings -> Apps" to see installed apps (slide the page with your finger to the right or left to move between subsections).
Tapping on each app gives you the option to Uninstall or Disable it, an option to Force-Stop it if it's running, another option to Move its contents to the SD Card (which means moving it from the first 0.8GB/0.98GB to the other 4.6GB/5.55GB of the internal memory available for the apps), and an option to clear its cache/data. Some of these parts may be unavailable due to different reasons such as the App being a system app which you can't uninstall, or the app not having the ability to work from SD card, or whatever! Tapping on the apps shown in the "Running" subsection allows you to stop them and their related services.

Thank you so much for your explanation! I can see now why I seem to be alone in my frustration about uninstalling apps. When I long press an app, the only option I get is "Manage". Nothing else. No "Disable" option either. The only thing I've been able to do with any of the apps is to get to the "running" screen and do a force stop on any of the running apps. But no option to uninstall anywhere.
It was the same thing when I had ES File Explorer.
Does anyone else lack the "Uninstall" option when long-pressing apps?
