AppTrap does pops up a dialogue asking if you'd like to delete all associated files with trashed applications, allowing for a more complete clean-up of your Mac.

What's New

Version 1.1.7:

IMPORTANT: This version of AppTrap no longer supports Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. AppTrap now requires Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard or, when it is released, Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
Updated French localization. Thanks Ronald Leroux and Yann Ricquebourg!
Lion ready.

Preference Pane Changes:

Fixed a bug in the Portuguese translation that caused the ReadMe in the About tab to always show 1.1.5 as the version number.

Note:
If you're updating from a version of AppTrap older than 1.0.5, you will have to manually restart the AppTrap background process. To do this, click Start AppTrap and then Stop AppTrap in the General tab.

Thanks to Transmission for the release notes!

I installed this on my iMac & laptop (both Snow Leopard)to uninstall older versions of Microsoft Office, and I never recieved the
"delete associated files?" warning when I emptied the trash. I had App Trap on when I did it.
Did I do something wrong?

The developer's website is down, but there is a Google Group up for the app:

Great little application, saves me opening CleanMyMac. I am worried about its memory usage (390MB Virtual Memory), so the developer should look into this. Other than that, I am very satisfied with this software!

I like this Preference Pane/App and hardly ever think about it. However, I have been thinking about adding memory and began studying the apps that are using memory. This one uses about 256MB. That seems like a lot to me. I don't think it needs to be open all the time, but I could be wrong. Is it accumulating data? I am going to try turning it off and just activating it when I delete an app, which is seldom.

What makes this application so attractive is that you don't have to open up an application like AppDelete every time you want to delete a program making it very convenient to simply just move an application to the trash then ask you if you want to delete it's associated files. It feels like a feature built in to OS X rather than something secondary

Formica and CreativeGuy: Thanks!!! AppCleaner does it with class! It is a great piece of Freeware!

I like AppCleaner better. It's also free, works in the background, and is just as good at removing all those extra app files. But it also shows you what it's going to delete and offers you the ability to not delete selective files if you choose.

For me this has been the most dependable and easy to use utility of its kind for a long time now. Transparently it runs in the background as a preference pane. Its icon does not take up space in the dock nor in the menu bar. Kudos for the developer.

Been using this forever now, and can't understand why anyone would use anything else. Absolutely fantastic utility that requires zero effort on the user's part.

It seems Apptrap has problems when a macbook goes to sleep. On recovery it uses an insanely amount of memory.
Happens every time.

Macatak had trouble on 04 Jan 2011

Great app, thank you. Since the update, the dialog box now says 'move button' and 'leave button' instead of 'leave files' and 'move files' and a bunch of other code gibberish. Anyone else seeing that?

Y, I'm seeing the same here. Still a great app, but it would be nice to get that fixed ASAP, as I'm sure any new users will be stumped by the missing text.

Macatak replied on 11 Jan 2011

I've downgraded to 1.1.5, available from the developer's releases page. Works fine. Hope the issue will be addressed, but so far there hasn't even been any acknowledgment from the developer about the problem.

Dajonel had trouble on 11 Feb 2008

After upgrading to 1.0.5, System Preferences gives me an error:

Could not load AppTrap

Is this version for 10.5 only or something?

I have 10.4.11.

It worked on a couple of apps, but ironically, it did not find anything when I moved "AppDelete" to the trash. Maybe needs a little more work. Nice idea though.
