Manage updates with the Download AppPublisher's Description
From Reggie Ashworth:
AppDelete is an uninstaller for Macs that will remove not only Applications but also Widgets, Preference Panes, Plugins and Screensavers along with their associated files. Without AppDelete these associated items will be left behind to take up space and potentially cause issues. For a proper uninstall don't just delete but be sure to AppDelete.
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.
What's new in this version:
- Fixed bug that could cause AppDelete to crash when deleting files
- Other miscellaneous optimizations/fixes

"Note from Developer..."
Version: AppDelete 2.2.4
Pros
Version 2 is still supported and developed and works on Snow Leopard
Cons

Summary
Hello everyone this is Reggie the Developer for AppDelete. Just wanted to post a note saying there is a newer version of AppDelete here on Cnet at this link:
http://download.cnet.com/AppDelete/3000-2096_4-10968758.html
Either Version 2 or Version 3 will work but Version 3 is designed for the newer OS releases (Leopard/Snow Leopard) and offers additional features. I just wanted to make sure it didn't get overlooked here so just trying to help out. Thank you!

"Got no where with this."
Version: AppDelete 2.2.3
Pros
Free or $5 to buy if you want it.
Cons
Couldn't figure it out - not very intuitive and I don't feel like scrolling through the help menu. Not worth the time/trouble.
Summary
Download it. If it works and you like it, keep it. Just didn't work for me and there are other similar programs out there.

"A great app removal tool"
Version: AppDelete 2.2.3
Pros
simple process to remove apps
Cons
App Delete is a great program but its only trial software and to pay for continuing to use it it has some competition with App Zapper
Summary
so long as it does the job it doesn't bother me if i use app zapper or app delete
I bought the full version of app delete and it worked on my Mac Book Pro with Leopard at the time ( i now use Snow Leopard) I wanted to do the right thing and also purchase a full copy for my Imac G5 with Leopard on it but the paid version wouldn't work.
When i emailed the support for this program i never got any response back. They were happy to take my money but don't want to communicate back if there is a problem and someone needs help -
"Love it! Wouldn't dare be without it"
Version: AppDelete 2.2.3
Pros
The little app runs quietly behind the scenes, notes when an app is trashed, and then goes hunting for all the strings & webs that the discarded app would otherwise leave behind, muddling up our computer's efficiency and space.
Cons
No cons!! Easy to install (drag & drop into the apps folder; easy to uninstall (altho i cannot understand why someone would want to do that).
Summary
Easy to install; no fuss/no bother to run! i value the program so much, yes, i bought the version 2.2.3 -- and $5 is a very nominal ty amount to pay for peace of mind and computer space, and for the priceless effeciency it provides! It grabes all those tentacle files, and even asks you if you want to leave the files or discard those too. You still have control. Absolutely ingenius ~ and ty for keeping the price so very affordable! ty!
This little app is so very efficient, i've been able to use it to delete other un-installers who left clutter everywhere in the library & cache & even the closet shelves ;) ~ it is well-worth the nominal fee the developer requests! i even updated today to get the compatible snow leopard version.
