App cleaner came in very handy when I had some trouble with a different mac application, which needed to have all files removed before an upgrade could be installed properly.

There were some pesky hidden files that needed to be removed, for the life of me I couldn’t locate the little devils.

After a little hunting around on the net, I found App Cleaner, a free app for mac users, which ‘does what it says on the tin’.

Download: AppCleaner (free)
(a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps)

Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space on your Hard Drive unnecessarily.

AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them.

Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window. It will search for and find all the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button.

yes … pretty simple and effective!

Certainly one of my favourites.
