![]() These cleaning apps are unlikely to make much difference in benchmarks and in the age of solid-state storage it doesn’t matter how jumbled up the actual data is, since it can be read from any location instantly. This is a very difficult question to answer because your computer’s performance in day-to-day desktop tasks can be very subjective. Rating: 4/5 Stars Do Cleaning Apps Do Anything For a Mac? It only does one thing, but again it does it well!.Now they’re gone and all it took was a click or two. However, it helped us remove apps that we had tried to uninstall but still had their icons cluttering up Launchpad. The main downside here is that it’s of little help for apps that have already been removed and left their crud all over your computer. Then, after reviewing those files, you simply click a button to delete them all. Simply drag an app you no longer want into AppCleaner and it will find and list all the files associated with the app across your hard drive. The way it works is dead simple, at least from the user’s perspective. This little applet does one thing and one thing only it uninstalls applications properly. The free version is light on features compared to something like Clean My Mac X, but for the average Mac user who wants a good free solution or perhaps for schools that run labs full of Macs, it doesn’t get better than this.Īll of the apps we’ve looked at so far are packed with multiple features, trying to attract you by offering a veritable buffet of optimization gimmicks, so we thought that something like AppCleaner could be a simple alternative. Now why is Nektory’s App Cleaner better than others or even free applications? To make a claim for being the best remover utility, the application needs some dominant results and interface.We loved this little app and it worked just as advertised. You now need to search (if you know where to look), and delete the conflicting files. If you ever tried different Antivirus programs, you may have faced issues where the installation program complaining of detecting an earlier version of some antivirus program conflicting the installation. This is where we need help of utilities like Nektory’s App Cleaner, which keeps track of any file-relation ! Even though some application come with their Uninstall-Tool, some files get leftover and may cause problems at some point. In case you wish to delete an older or unused application, it should delete not only the main application but also all related files no matter where they ‘hide’ in your Mac’s system. Unlike Windows our Mac’s store files only in a few folders and don’t spread files around in your complete operating-system, but still applications create some folder entries like. That said, our Mac’s do like Windows gather a load of system/applications files which at some point become obsolete when no longer needed. Unlike Windows, where the user should not use their computer as a ‘testing-machine’ if they want to keep using it as a responsive system, our Mac’s are more Unix based and less sensitive to system faillure due to lost files or worse. This works fine, but you get stuck with uninstalled files and leftovers. Our macOS has NO real system maintenance build-in, but for application removal mostly depend on a drag and drop in the Trashcan. Running a Mac like any computer and being glad it is a bit Unix based, our system gets loaded with applications and smaller utilities.
