An Uninstaller for Mac Apps

Under Classic Mac OS, it was easy to delete an application. Just drag it to the Trash. But under Mac OS X, it became more complicated because associated files are scattered all over the hard disk.

In the past I have used AppCleaner to uninstall, but AppTrap sounds like a better idea. One it is installed, it watches the Trash to see if an Application has been thrown away. If so, a dialog pops up asking if you want to get rid of all associated files. Click Yes will remove them.

So much more intuitive, the way the Mac should be.

It is donation ware, so try it out
