How do you detrend a data set?
You must know the underlying structure of the trend in order to detrend it. For example, if you have a simple linear trend for the mean, calculate the least squares regression line to estimate the growth rate, r. Then subtract the deviations from the least squares fit line (i.e. the differences) from your data.
How do I remove seasonality from data?

How do you know if data has seasonality?
If there is significant seasonality, the autocorrelation plot should show spikes at lags equal to the period. For example, for monthly data, if there is a seasonality effect, we would expect to see significant peaks at lag 12, 24, 36, and so on (although the intensity may decrease the further out we go).
