I was an AppZapper die hard fan, and I knew all along it would get way better someday.Īnd here we are today, with a completely refreshed app, with more features and a brand new, awesome user interface.Īt first launch, you’ll notice how the overall feel of AppZapper is still there: there’s the small window where you have to drag the app’s icon and as you’ve dragged it, there’s the list of every file found on your hard drive, the file size, type and the Zap! button. Many followers told me on Twitter to try AppTrap, a preference pane which runs in the background and asks you if you want to delete additional files every time you trash an application.
Now, many people didn’t like AppZapper as much as I did: take a look at this AppStorm roundup and you’ll see how many utilities you can use to correctly delete an application from your Mac. This is why I used to love the first version of AppZapper: if I wanted to delete an app, I dragged the icon into the main window and AppZapper found all the related files. Guess what, after 2 years of usage these files could waste GBs of space and you don’t even know that. They’ll just stay there on your hard drive.

Well, they’re not so hidden, actually: you should know that every time you launch an application on your Mac, the OS creates a series of “associated” files like preferences, support files and databases which won’t be deleted when you drag the app’s icon to the trash. AppZapper was popular because with a simple drag & drop it allowed you to delete an application together with all the “hidden” files related to it.
