Remove unwanted apps in a single click

One really annoying aspect of removing applications from your Mac is that they frequently leave behind folders, preference files and other things that waste hard drive space and generally clutter your system.

The first thing that struck me about AppZapper is that it looks very similar to AppCleaner, which, unlike this application, is free. The functionality is slightly different though as in AppZapper, you can drag and drop programs into the main interface to remove from rather than scan and select programs to remove as with AppCleaner.

When you drag and drop the files, AppZapper lists the associated files that you might want to delete with it. Click the 'Zap!' button to remove everything in one go. AppZapper isn't limited to applications either. It will also list all plug-ins and widgets and let you delete them with a click. Unlike AppCleaner, it also features a handy undelete feature just in case you've mistakenly removed a program and want to recover it.

The only downside of this program is that the latest version only works on Snow Leopard. However, we have provided a download link to version 1.8 for OS X 10.4 and 10.5 when you click download.

AppZapper provides an intuitive way of deleted any application and all associated files via a simple drag and drop interface.

User reviews about AppZapper

Good, but could be better. AppZapper is a handy drag & drop uninstaller. It also has a built-in catalog of your installed programs that you can remove directly from the app itself rather than having to open a Finder window. It does fairly well with standard installs, but not as well with more deeply rooter programs that have application support files and sub-directories. Altogether, it does pretty much what it says it does. The one feature that I felt it lacked was a refresh window option. If you have uninstalled anything outside of AppZapper, it shows a white placeholder, but won't allow you to remove it. It would be nice if you didn't have to restart the app to see exactly what you have installed. At $12.95, it is a relatively good outlay to outcome app. Don't expect miracles, but I have to say that the zapping sound is almost worth the cost of the program itself. If I had it to do over again, I probably would not have purchased it and would have stayed with one of the freeware programs that does the same thing by asking you if you want auxiliary files moved to the trash bucket as well. One very handy feature is the ability to bypass the trashcan and still have to confirm your choice. Test the trial and see if its a program you'd like to have onboard. Pros: HandyFastEasyMore fun than just trashing files Cons: No refresh optionDoesn't always remove ALL files.

Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.
