Appcleaner Vs App Cleaner Mac Right Now

From the screenshots AppCleaner looks like it is better than AppZapper because it has a list of Applications, Widgets to choose from where as AppZapper doesnt.

Appcleaner Vs App Cleaner Mac Right Now

Since Im not at my Mac right now (using a stupid Windows 2000 machine at work.) I cant remember exactly, but I believe there should be a little genies lamp in the bottom left corner that when clicked gives a list of everything on your machine.

The Widgets Tab: I assume it lets you review, select, and delete individually, but under the Others Tab, I have 14 files displayed, ( e.g., AdobePDFViewer.plugin, Flash Player.plugin, iPhotoPhotocast.plugin, BOINCSaver.saver, AppleIntermediateCodec.component) and others.

I dont know if this is showing me unnecessary files from previous versions of these apps or if these are files currently being used and I dont want to delete them.

I use Adobe, and iPhoto, BOINC (a SETI manager) and probably Flash Player (if its necessary for some websites).

I just dont know and cant find what the Others Tab is showing me.

They both do the same thing, and I feel AppCleaner does it better than AppZapper.

Like another user already said, AppZapper is no longer supported, so that means no updates.

Also, some places I have read say Appcleaner catches things Appzapper does not.

I Zapped about 5 or 6 applications with AppZapper, and as soon as I went to empty the trash, Hazel popped up and found some items that AppZapper didnt.

For instance I tried to drag an application from the application folder to both of these programs and AppZapper posted 5 files to be deleted and AppCleaner found 16 files to be deleted.

When I checked to see what files were found that AppZapper didnt find was crash reports.

But I personally use AppDelete, which is even better than the two, but costs 7.99 though.

Many users deleted certain files and then applications stopped working.

Is AppDelete a one click type program or is it simple to use Im totally new to Mac and trying to find whats best to use for certain programs.

Just open it and drag the app you want to delete into it, and it will automatically look for any files associated with that very app.

So far AppDelete and AppCleaner are my recommended applications to use.
