![]() By clicking on the small icon “i”, you can show additional information like the manufactured date and the serial number of your computer. ![]() The principal purpose for TrashMe is to completely delete an application from your drive. Most apps end up creating a lot of related files, such as temporary files, caches, settings, etc… Those files are not removed when you just put an app in the Trash. This leads to wasted space on your computer. TrashMe will find almost all related files for an app. After reviewing the displayed files, you can then choose to delete them to clean uninstall the app. There are several options available to you in terms of how to select the application to delete. You can opt to list all the apps installed on your computer or more easily select a specific app. It is possible to drag and drop one or more apps on the uninstall window, or on the TrashMe Dock icon, or on the initial TrashMe Dashboard. I made an alias of TrashMe which I keep on my desktop. When I want to delete an app, I simply drag and drop it on the alias. If you choose all the apps, then TrashMe takes a few seconds to scan and then list, on the left, all the apps it found. On the right side, TrashMe displays the files related to whichever app is chosen. Check this list carefully and optionally uncheck those that do not seem to be related to the app or those that you want to keep. Above the list on the left, there is the means to filter the apps.įinally, click on the “Uninstall” button at the bottom right to move all the files to the Trash. Besides favorites and unused (apps you haven’t used recently), there is also an unsupported category. This comes in handy when you are trying to eliminate obsolete applications.Īs I indicated in the opening paragraph, TrashMe can do a lot more. It regularly checks for available updates of your apps, whether they were installed from the Mac App Store or not. The left-hand column will list all the apps that might be updated. By clicking on one of them, you will display, as much as possible depending on the developer, the details of the update such as the new version number, the date, and size of the update, as well as the list of changes. Once you are ready to update an app, it will then open the app or send you to the App Store, depending on where you purchased it. If you want TrashMe to stop checking for updates of a particular app, you can exclude it.
