AppCleaner - Easily Remove Apps You Don't Need

Need to clean up your Mac? Of course, there’s an app for that. The free AppCleaner app takes the basic uninstall process a few levels deeper.

Why do you need this? When you uninstall an application on your Mac, there’s actually quite a bit of clutter left behind. That’s where AppCleaner comes into play. AppCleaner removes the extra clutter in places like the library, application support and cache files. It even finds widgets and plug-ins that may be associated with an unwanted application. These are all places and files you likely wouldn’t have even known existed, let alone thought you had to clean.
AppCleaner makes the whole uninstall process very easy. You simply drag an unwanted application icon over the AppCleaner icon. AppCleaner will search for and remove any hidden files that had been created by the unwanted application. There’s also a handy search function and a SmartDelete feature that finds everything related to the application you are trying to delete. If you are worried about accidentally deleting something you need, you can specify applications that you want to protect from deletion.

AppCleaner is free, but not available from the Apple store. We recommend you download it straight from the developer at FreeMacSoft.net. It’s a good app that will help clean up your Mac. A cleaner Mac is a more efficient Mac. With a price tag of zero, it well worth the download.
