One thing that I wish AppCleaner had was a search bar. When I deleted one app using AppCleaner, one file was left behind in Application Support. Once you can see all the files, then you can choose whether you want to delete them or hang on to them.ĪppCleaner has a great UI and it is so simple to use! However, AppCleaner did miss a couple of straggling little files. If dragging applications into the trash can is leaving you with tons of little stragglers, AppCleaner is a good tool for finding straggler files. When an app installs, various files associated with the app can end up in all kinds of various folders. Getting an application to thoroughly un-install is tricky.
But even though a search of my hard drive turned up no remaining files linked to that program, a file related to the program would show up in my Activity Monitor (and usually when my computer was running super hot.)Įnough’s enough, I said.
Case in point: I had a security app that I used for a while, and then I deleted the application in favor of a different program. But there’s one thing that annoys me about clearing out old applications: I can never seem to get completely rid of them. I had tons of applications and old files that I needed to get rid of, and I cleared up a ton of space. This past weekend, I decided to clean out my hard drive.
