App Cleaner & Uninstaller
Remove apps along with every file they leave behind
The verdict
Dragging an app to the Trash leaves its caches, preferences and support files behind, and App Cleaner & Uninstaller finds and removes them along with the app. It also lists startup programs and extensions so you can switch them off or remove them, and it hunts down leftovers from apps you deleted earlier. Removed files go to the Trash by default, so a mistake can be undone.
Get it if
You install and delete apps often and want each one gone together with its leftovers.
Skip it if
You rarely remove apps. AppCleaner does the core job for free.
What it helps you do
- Remove an app with its caches and support files
- Clear leftovers from apps you already deleted
- Switch off startup programs and extensions
- Get a removed app's files back from the Trash
