Mac app uninstaller FAQ.
Answers to the common cleanup questions AppTidy is designed around.
How do I completely uninstall an app on Mac?
Choose or drop the app in AppTidy, review the related preferences, caches, containers, logs, receipts, and support files, then move selected items to Trash.
Is AppTidy free?
Yes. AppTidy is free to download and use, with no ads in the current release.
Does AppTidy permanently delete files?
No. AppTidy moves selected items to Trash in the current release, so you can restore them from Finder if needed.
Does AppTidy work with Homebrew casks?
Yes. When Homebrew integration is enabled, AppTidy can detect installed casks and offer the matching brew uninstall --cask --zap command for Terminal review.
Why do Mac apps leave leftover files?
Mac apps often store preferences, caches, containers, logs, receipts, and support data outside the app bundle, so those files can remain after dragging an app to Trash.
