It all depends on how you installed these programs.

If you have used APT, just run it:

sudo apt autoremove [package_name] [package_name] [package_name] [package_name] [package_name] [package_name] [package_name] [package_name]

Of course you can specify multiple packages separated by a blank space.

If you used Snap, you have to run:

sudo snap remove [program]

Finally, you should do a system optimisation with Stacer to remove a lot of unnecessary packages and files that take up space.

You can consult these posts as a guide, this one for uninstalling programs and this one for using Stacer.
