AppDelete Editor's Review

AppDelete is a simple and free application that removes from your Mac a program and all the related files.

The application works in a very simple way. In fact, when starting the program a window pops up and asks you to drag the application that you like to delete onto its window.

I dropped some of the applications installed on my Mac onto its icon. This program created a new folder inside the Trash bin that started with the 'AppDelete' prefix, in which I could find all the files installed by that application.

This application is very useful especially with the programs that don't come as a .app package, but they spread files all over your file system. Since most of the applications that come as installers don't have an uninstaller within the install package, this application can be very useful for a system cleanup.

Extra files are also created when a program uses a application profile inside your home directory. By deleting the .app package you won't delete the profile, so the hard drive isn't completely cleaned up. AppDelete does this kind of job instead you.

Pluses: the program gives you the possibility to delete easily your installed applications and all the related files.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: if you need to uninstall quickly and completely an application, then AppDelete is a pretty good solution.
