You can drag any item that can be uninstalled onto AppDelete: Applications, Widgets, Preference Panes, Plugins, Screensavers, etc. You can also activate AppDelete in many ways: dragging items onto main window, onto dock icon, selecting in menu, right-clicking using AppDelete workflow, and throwing items in the trash. When the preview screen appears you can uncheck any items you would like to exclude. You also have several choices: delete the items, log only the items, or archive (copy) the items to a .zip file for safekeeping or reinstall at a later date. The items you delete will be moved to the trash and arranged in a folder so that you can see exactly what was deleted and you know exactly where it came from. The items will not be removed from your computer until you empty them from your trash. You can also undo the last delete if you choose.
There are various options to make your AppDelete experience complete: Quick search panels to help choose items for deletion, Force Empty Trash, an Orphans feature to search and delete orphaned files, Install from Archive even for another Mac, various options in Preferences, and more...Try it today!

*When clicking the red exit button it should quit and not be standing around in the dock. Really annoying.
*I really don't like the popup when deleting something, it should be more like iTrash, a built in list.

A friend pointed me Appdelete uses Spotlight and on my system the boot HD is disabled for Spotlight (Spotlight is a heavy resource hog)
This is very disappointing seeing it receives a lot of good reviews. Just depending on Spotlight is not enough for me and is a real flaw.
So if you do not use Spotlight on your boot HD ITrash and Appcleaner are the best options.
My apologies for any issues you have experienced. I certainly wouldn't expect that AppDelete finds no related files. And also whether you use Spotlight or not should have no effect on AppDelete. If you could please send me an email I can address whatever issues you are having. Thanks!

When I drag any application onto Appdelete a hud window popsup with just the name of the application but no related files.
When I enable Spotlight for the root HD it shows related files. So it must be something with Spotlight I guess.
Also worth mentioning, I use FileVault by default. Maybe that is causing the issue too?
fyi, ITrash and Appcleaner are not the only working on my setup. Trashme seems to work too.
btw I did not tried AppDelete Lite yet.
Yes the best would be if you could please get in touch with me via my website because what you're describing is not expected at all. Hope to hear from you that I can take a good look at this. Thanks!

I had a slight issue back a few weeks ago about which the developer (Reggie) about . Reggie contacted me back within hours offering his help. This morning I received an email from him letting me know that the issue had been fixed in the latest update.
I wish some other developers cared about customer support/service as much as Reggie.
If you're thinking about AppDelete; stop thinking and just get it, you won't regret it.

But I finally decided to give AppDelete a trial run.
And whaddya know, so far AppDelete does delete all relevant files.
After using AppDelete I run Find Any File or EasyFind to check if all pertinent files were in fact deleted. So far, two thumbs up for AppDelete!
If AppDelete does fall down on the job, the developer will be one of the first to know.
I purchased AppDelete at 30% off but even at the regular low price of $7.99 it's a definite keeper.

The application was copied to the trash, but the original item remained in the Applications folder. Also, the preferences property list was not moved (the preferences folder in the trash was empty).
P.S. Thank you for making this software. It is really needed on OS X and the only free alternative that I can find.
This is Reggie the Developer. Thank you for your feedback! You know I just downloaded and installed this app Clip Show and I have to say I didn't have any problems to remove it. I even removed the preference file. I would like to receive an email from you if you're willing so I could figure out why it did not work for you? You can email me from my site which is linked to More Information above. Hope to hear from you and sorry that you had this problem!
Sincerely,
Reggie Ashworth
you may want to make that relative and not rely on everyone leaving their HD named the default name.
Sincerely,
Reggie Ashworth
