AppCleaner
Deletes apps along with the files they leave behind
MacFree
The verdict
Dragging an app to the Trash leaves its caches, settings and support files behind. AppCleaner finds those leftovers when you drop the app onto its window, lets you check the list and deletes everything in 1 click, for free. Pearcleaner, also free, adds a scan for leftovers from apps you already deleted, so it suits people who want more than a drop target, and AppCleaner 3.7 needs macOS 15 or later.
Get it if
You try a lot of apps and want them fully gone, not just moved to the Trash.
Skip it if
You install a new app maybe twice a year and don't mind a few leftover files.
What it helps you do
- Remove an app and its leftover files together
- See every file an app left behind
- Free up space taken by old app data
