Rating: 4/5 Stars Do Cleaning Apps Really Do Anything For a Mac? Now they’re gone and all it took was a click or two. However, it helped us remove apps that we had tried to uninstall, but still had their icons cluttering up Launchpad. The main downside here is that it’s of little help for apps that have already been removed and left their crud all over your computer. Then, after reviewing those files, you simply click a button to delete them all. Simply drag an app you no longer want into AppCleaner and it will find and list all the files associated with the app across your hard drive. The way it works is dead simple, at least from the user’s perspective. This little applet does one thing and one thing only it uninstalls applications properly.
The free version is light on features compared to something like Clean My Mac X, but for the average Mac user who wants a good free solution or perhaps for schools that run labs full of Macs, it doesn’t really get better than this.Īll of the apps we’ve looked at so far are packed with multiple features, trying to attract you by offering a veritable buffet of optimization gimmicks, so we thought that something like AppCleaner could be a simple alternative. We loved this little app and it worked just as advertised.
