I started using CleanApp because of all the reviews and comparisons Ive read, this was the one with the smallest margin of error when searching for an apps associated files. CleanApp has a logging feature which also records everything an application manipulates and installs to be more accurate when uninstalling the application. You also have the ability to share your Logging data to help other users, as well as utilizing their information for your own uninstalls. Im sure this helps with the accuracy of undoing any changes an application makes. When enabled you can see what other files and folders users deleted when uninstalling that particular app. With CleanApp you can also search and delete Cache and Preference files, search duplicates, remove language packages, and view an interactive map of the data on your hard drive, similar to the way DaisyDisk presents it. As far as uninstallers I can't imagine another being more accurate or feature packed. However if your willing to sacrifice features and accuracy for a more lightweight approach you might prefer an alternative.

For those posting questions I've used this on Snow Leopard and Lion with no problems. If you get a "glitch" where it's not responding as some listed click the logging icon, the click "delete database" and it will rescan your apps and all will work normally again.

This is the most configurable and thorough file deleter I've used. It will find preference files, etc. based on name and if logging is enabled then it will find files the program in question used for more completeness. This will also find some files (not selected for deletion by default) that you may not want to delete such as photos, songs, etc.

The most advanced option is to share what you delete along with a file and see what others deleted when they removed it. It's has no user identifiable information but allows you to see what files most other advanced users deleted. Sometimes it helps to know that 292 of 295 users deleted some obscure file you are not certain you should delete.

It shows the safety/danger of deleting files as a gauge, and if you stick to green you are safe, yellow usually safe, and red only if you really know what you are doing.

seems to be the most thorough app-delete app out there! not the prettiest thing, and has room to improve, but really the best one there is. wish it was updated more often.

The logging service does not work after the last update. I've checked and I have the latest update.

Here's what happens:
I drag an application to the trash.
CleanApp launches and a sheet drops down stating:
An incompatible version of CleanApp's Logging Service
has been detected.
Please update your Logging Service.
I click on "Update Logging"
A sheet drops down stating:
Error in authorization. Process aborted.

I click "ok", then open preferences where I see
"Incompatible with tis CleanApp version."

I click on "Update Logging" and once again
a sheet drops down stating:
Error in authorization. Process aborted.

Super Excellent !

Wonderful Cust Service..

version 3.4.5 , PPC --- huge logging issue.

Replaced the app with version 3.4.4 from my backups. Re-installed logger with version 3.4.4 ---- seems to have successfully recovered from the 345 bug without having to get into preference files/ support files.

I just Installed CleanApp and i do have problems after i scanned the MacBook and found all in all over 6 GB now Firefox turns on and off then it comes back. My VMware Fussion takes forever.

My question is how can i but all the files back where they have been before.
I do but it after Trash on my External Drive in case so thanks for the Help

After updating the program to the latest version of the menu "Applications" swapped column "Filename" and "Last used", look at the screenshot. Change their position could not possibly...

Latest version has become almost useless to me. Logging takes 75-100% cpu and usually shows as not responding, slowing my Mac down to a crawl. CleanApp itself will sometimes not launch if the logging is running.

More things than ever are now showing up as related items which have nothing to do with the application being deleted.

This is disappointing. I notified the developer but this time my email has gone unanswered. Their support site forum said that they will fix the daemon but that was back on 7/12.

SERIOUS! "memory leak" noticed by the cleanapp daemon in the Activity Monitor app. Don't know if this is due to unusually slowwww journaling of recently installed apps. Nevertheless have to discontinue trying this out until this fixed.
