AppDelete will delete the application you choose and any associated items (files and folders) that belong to that application. Now you will no longer have to hunt through your system to find these items and delete them manually. Or worse, just let them sit on your Mac forever even though the application is long gone!
To run AppDelete just drag the application or folder containing the application you want to delete onto the AppDelete icon. You can also select from the main menu, right-click an item in the Finder using the AppDelete Automator workflow, or just drop an app in the Trash. An easy way is to keep AppDelete in your dock so you can drag your app or folder containing the app onto the icon in your dock. After doing this AppDelete will search your system to find the associated items. After clicking on "Delete" these items will be moved inside of a folder in the trash named "AppDelete" with the name of the app you dragged onto the icon. You can inspect this folder if you like before emptying the trash.
AppDelete also has a "Undo" feature, the ability to "Log only" for reference, it can search for invisible or "hidden" items, and more! And AppDelete keeps a log of all processing that it does. Try it today!
Version 2.1:
- Four new languages (Dutch, French, Italian, Spanish) with more to come
- More accurate in finding associated items with the ability to find even more
- Includes various UI (window) modifications
- Better support for detecting items placed in Trash (now also ignores "Sparkle" style updates)
- All around improved compatibility (Tiger and especially Panther users too)
- Includes all new features of Version 2.0 plus other various fixes and internal improvements
It is recommended that all users upgrade to this new redesigned version for the latest features and improvements. Thank you!
Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later.

You must have read 'The Adventures Of Baron Von Münchhousen' where he lifted himself (and his horse) by his hair into the air so as to avoid attacking enemies. It really does not work for your 'problem' with AppDelete either. You are a gentleman and a scholar. Keep up the good work!! | |

This is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. I do apologize for any confusion. You can delete AppDelete but maybe you are trying to use AppDelete to delete itself and that's why you are getting an error message. At one time there might be an "uninstall" feature but at this time you can delete it the conventional way. It errors if you try to use it on itself to avoid conflicts. Again my apologies for this and for anything that led you to wanting to delete it. If you would email me from my site I would be more than happy to assist you further. Thank you for your post! :-) | |

PXL After reading the comments... I thought I'd try this out. I mean... who can complain... it's only $5! After using the WONDERFUL app several times, $5 seems like nothing. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AppDelete!

SIAMLOTUS I just tried out this app. and bought it straight away to delete my last uninstaller. One of the few apps of it's kind that I have tried that finds growl tickets. So five stars it is. Thanks to the developer for his hard work and ridiculously cheap price.

KALI MA You people are sniveling over a mere $5?! Do you have any idea how much time & energy a single independent developer devotes to keep you happy with a feature-set? ...let alone keep up with the ever-changing backdrop of systems compatibility, API technologies & UI sophistication. Then there's Quality Assurance with its thankless, as well as endless tasks of system-variant debugging & (!) help desk/customer support [which in and of itself is capable of putting any one of us in the mental ward]. The guy deserves to put food on his table, maybe even go on a weekend vacation for once. You spent more than $5 several times over today, and will again tomorrow and the day after that and the day after that. If you appreciate the work, show some respect for it, please.

FARIBORZ I do agree with KALI MA. "AppDelete" is a gorgeous program and does exactly what it says. I willingly bought it a few weeks ago and have never been more pleased. Kicking up a row for a mere $5.00 is just ridiculous. The developer is not armed with a gun and hasn't threatened you to buy it or else. If you don't want to pay the shareware fee just ignore it. It's no use causing a storm in a tea cup! Fariborz AMIRSHAHI - Verona (Italy).

This is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. Thank you very much for your post and input. It was a difficult decision to make but due to all the time past and future being spent it was a decision that had to be made and I hope you can understand. I also understand you have the right to choose and I respect that...although maybe if you do some comparisons you might find AppDelete can offer a few advantages but I'll leave that up to you. :-) Again thank you for the input...

SCHELL Imagine my surprise when, after using (and loving) Appdelete for several weeks, I upgraded to 2.0 and was met with a 'please donate 5.00 to continue using this program' message. The Apple website says 2.0 is free (as of today). It isn't however. And for that reason, I said goodbye to Appdelete 2.0.

SCHELL Wow. That sounded pretty jerky of me. After thinking about it, I will most likely be donating the 5 clams to the Appdelete crew. However, in the future, might I suggest making sure that all your download locations (Apple, Macupdate, etc) are notified of any change before releasing a charge for use demo. Otherwise, a great product.

This is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. I do apologize for the confusion. On my site it does explain this but your point is well made and I have to make some more updates! I do appreciate the change of heart and please contact me anytime you need assistance...thank you for using AppDelete! :-) | |

ROY VAN DER WONING Although I really like this app, the upgrade to 2.0 reeks of a new case of bait & switch to me. The update description says: "It is recommended that all users upgrade to this new redesigned version for the latest features and improvements." but makes no mention of the newly introduced "donation" scheme, thus luring people into upgrading without realizing that their app is no longer free.

MACUPDATE ADMIN Apologies... The developer submitted this version as being free. It has now been changed to 'Demo' designation.

This is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. Thank you for your comments and I do apologize for any confusion. Yes AppDelete will now ask for a donation after some uses and I do apologize that this is not clearer it wasn't intentional. It is documented on my site and since it was listed as free before on macupdate it still carried the free tag. It has now been changed to demo. Again I do apologize for any confusion...and feel free to email me anytime! :-) | |

MACUPDATE ADMIN As I stated previously, this most current version was submitted to MacUpdate by the developer as being free. After seeing posts in the reviews that it was no longer free, I changed its designation to 'Demo'.

ROY VAN DER WONING Thanks for responding Reggie. FWIW: I do appreciate your reasons for wanting a donation, and I'd happily pay the $5 you ask for AppDelete. But remember that many people will update directly from MacUpdate and will thus miss the information you posted on your site. And even though the app's listing may now have been changed from "Free" to "Demo" by MacUpdate's admin, I still feel that you should clarify your new licensing policy in your update description to ensure that visitors can make an informed decision on whether or not they wish to upgrade.

ALBFAN AppDelete is not free. After deleting 3 applications, I got a message asking for 5$ if I want to continue using it. So I deleted AppDelete with AppCleaner.

JIMW I support and applaud your philosophy. However you might also wish to look at my favorite alternative - AppTrap. It resides in your system as a Pref Pane and requires no launching in order for it to do its job. It just works as part of the OS.

This is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. Thank you for your comments. Just to let you know that AppDelete 2.0 can also be set to run in the background and it will monitor your Trash as well. If an app is placed in your Trash AppDelete will activate and ask you to delete the associated items... | |
| Jun 10 2008 |
JIMW While I appreciate this information from the Developer as it gives everyone a better idea of what its capabilities are, I was in error when replying to the original commenter as it looks like I clicked on the wrong reply. The reply was actually meant for the previous commenter, Albfan who commented about deleting AppDelete with AppCleaner.
