AppDelete is a commercial system maintenance tool. As its name suggests, AppDelete can be used to delete unwanted applications from your Mac. Most Mac users know that to delete an App, you can simply drag it onto the Trash and the application will be gone. However, not every user knows that when you do that, some files may be left behind, and those files can probably slow down your Mac and cause unwanted problems. AppDelete takes care of that problem for you. There are two ways in which you can use the application. First, you can drag and drop an application onto AppDelete and it will search for related files that can be deleted along with the app. Or, you can use AppDelete to list all the applications installed on your Mac. Then, you can simply select the ones you want to get rid of and click on the "Search" button, which will begin the search for unwanted files associated with the applications that you selected.
I tested AppDelete by deleting apps that I didn't want on my Mac anymore. I selected them from the list and follow the steps I mentioned above. The files were deleted instantly and a sound confirmed they were sent to the Trash. I was never asked for my password.
AppDelete can also help you get rid of orphan files and other files, such as widgets and preference panes.
