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!

And if you place any weight at all on a developer being responsive to problems or issues, simply look at how many times the developer has responded here trying to elicit feedback to deconflict what is probably a user-related issue when using AppDelete. That speaks volumes about a developer.
After many years AppDelete remains my app-deleting application of choice.

I did throw about 10 well known apps to uninstall. They mostly found the same amount of files. But iTrash did a better job on two apps.

If you could get in touch with me via my website I would really like to hear what problems you are experiencing. Although any app can possibly crash, AppDelete is a mature app and there should be nothing introduced in the latest version to cause this kind of behavior. Look forward to hearing from you thanks!

That said, it is a great convenience and for Apple guideline apps that don't have hidden files in low level folders, and generally leave traces, like turds, all over the OS, it saves lots of time. If you really know how to set it up, it just does it's job. Yeah, always room for improvement, but unless a developer leaves an updated and frank blog, you don't know jack about the circumstances surrounding an app's development cycle.
p.s. some apps have to install files and packages (plugins, frameworks, input this and startup that, kexts, and blah, blah. This makes certain apps what they are, and we love them, despite the fact that apple does not support em.

*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.

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.
