Freemacsoft Appcleaner

Want to remove an application from your Mac? No problem: the conventional wisdom is to simply open the Application folder and drag the program folder to the trash: job done. Trouble is, very few apps limit themselves to installing everything into a single folder, and these days, such an approach basically leaves files and folders scattered all over your hard drive.

An emerging subset of utilities is the application cleaner tool: instead of dragging the application folder to the trash, you launch this tool first, then drag the program folder on to its window instead. Hey presto, said program quickly searches common folders on your hard drive to list most (if not all) additional files associated with that program, enabling you to delete the lot with one click.

AppCleaner offers easy-to-use, familiar to Mac users drag-and-drop approach to deleting apps along with these other important features: It’s fast and efficient. It’s easy to learn and understand. It deletes all app-related data simultaneously. It lets you select apps from the list if drag-and-drop is not your thing. Why we place AppCleaner & Uninstaller among free Mac cleaner tools? Because it is 100% free. Whether you will fully clean your Mac using it, is a different question. AppCleaner & Uninstaller is created by FreeMacSoft, also the makers of LiteIcon, an icon customizer for Mac. Price: Voluntary donation. AppCleaner is the application you need to find and delete all those files spread all over your system. Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window and it will do its job perfectly. It will erase information safely and your system will be in perfect conditions again. CleanMyMac X takes the first place with good reason — this cleaner combines. Tiles by Sempliva. Organize your macOS windows in a snap. Tiles is a window manager which allows you to easily reorganize windows by either dragging them to the edges of the screen, using keyboard shortcuts, or the menu bar.

AppCleaner is one such tool – its biggest selling point over similar products is that it's freeware, so you can now keep your hard drive that bit cleaner without having to pay a penny for the privilege. It's as simple to use as already described – either drop the app on to the icon, or choose Applications, Widgets or Others to select specific items from a list (allowing you to delete multiple items at once). By default all items are selected – either untick individual entries or use the Options menu to deselect specific types.

Once done, click Delete and the selected files are dumped in the trash. Open the Preferences menu and you'll see a SmartDelete option – switch this on, and the program will leap into action whenever you drag an application folder to the trash, saving you the bother of launching it first. You can also switch off protection for default and currently running apps too from here.

In terms of results, the program wasn't as thorough as AppDelete, a commercial program, but it found plenty of additional files that make it a preferable choice to simply relying on deleting the application folder manually.

Verdict:

Competent uninstall tool – finds plenty of leftovers, but not as comprehensive as similar, commercial alternatives.

AppCleaner is a disk management tool for your Mac, which can erase any executable file that you installed on your computer, but most of all those system files and preferences: all those little pieces of an application that get scattered through your hard disk.

It’s a free and very easy app: you launch it and then drag the icon of the app you want to erase upon AppCleaner. The app will collect all the system files generated, and will ask you if you want to erase it. Of course, it won’t delete documents generated by the app: keep in mind you could not be able to open them again.
