Frequently asked questions

Can I use App Cleaner & Uninstaller as a full App Manager for Mac?

Absolutely. Beyond removal, it functions as a comprehensive Mac app manager. It allows you to view all installed software in one list, sort them by size or last used date, manage startup permissions, update apps, and even change default file associations. It’s designed to give you total control over your software ecosystem from a single, intuitive interface.

Can I try App Cleaner & Uninstaller for free?

Yes. You can activate a 2-day free trial to test every Pro feature with no limitations. This allows you to perform one-click removals, batch updates, and manage startup items. After the trial, you can continue using the Free version to scan your disk and find leftovers manually.

Why should I use an uninstaller instead of dragging apps to the Trash?

When you drag an app to the Trash, its service files (like system scripts, caches, and support files) often remain on your disk, taking up valuable space and potentially slowing down your Mac. App Cleaner & Uninstaller finds these “hidden” leftovers and removes them, keeping your macOS clean and optimized.

Does uninstalling a program remove everything?

App Cleaner & Uninstaller is designed to be smart and safe. It removes all technical service files and system remnants, but it does not remove your personal files. Your documents, downloads, and folders created within the app remain untouched in your user folders. This ensures you reclaim disk space without ever risking your important data.

How can I be sure the uninstaller removes apps completely?

Our cleaning engine is powered by an extensive database that currently supports deep-clean removal for over 20,000+ third-party applications. To ensure a 100% success rate, our team regularly updates this data, mapping the unique folder structures and hidden service files of new and updated software. This proactive approach allows App Cleaner & Uninstaller to find every associated cache, log, and system trace.

Can I see which apps have access to my camera and microphone?

Yes. App Cleaner & Uninstaller provides a transparent view of every app’s permissions, including access to your location and sensitive folders. Review these settings in seconds and revoke access to keep your personal data private.
