Publisher's description of AppCleaner
From Free Mac Soft:AppCleaner is a small application which allows you to thoroughly uninstall unwanted apps. Installing an application distributes many files throughout your System using space of your Hard Drive unnecessarily. AppCleaner finds all these small files and safely deletes them. Simply drop an application onto the AppCleaner window. It will find all the related files and you can delete them by clicking the delete button.
Editor's review of AppCleaner
4.0 stars
- ""
One of the most long-standing and noticeable shortcomings of the Mac OS is the absence of any built-in uninstalling functionality--and just dragging applications to the Trash isn't enough, because almost every app installs various support files in several different places all over your computer.
Fortunately, there are many utilities that help you track down and delete these files--and there are some particularly good ones, like AppCleaner, that do it for free. AppCleaner is one of your best choices for this kind of app, providing a slick, 3D interface and two options for deleting files: you can either drag and drop applications onto AppCleaner's main window, or you can have AppCleaner list potential applications (and even widgets, plugins, screensavers, and the like) to uninstall. AppCleaner will then show you all the related files for any app you're uninstalling and ask which you want to delete.
You can set AppCleaner to "protect" certain applications from accidentally getting trashed, by manually specifying them or just by auto-protecting all default and currently running apps. AppCleaner also comes with a SmartDelete option that detects when apps are trashed and offers to remove the related files.

Version: AppCleaner 1.2.1
"Simple, Easy, Effective. What more could you want?"
Pros: Like some other uninstall programs, this one has the option to monitor your application-trashing and prompt you to delete all related files. The background process is small and unlikely to affect system performance. I've tested it out a bit and it seems to work perfectly.

Version: AppCleaner 1.2.1
"Doesn't provide much info about files to be deleted."
Pros: It seems to do a good job of locating files associated with an application selected for deletion.
Cons: The program should provide more information in order for the user to understand the significance of files to be deleted.
