AppZapper allows you to confidently uninstall virtually any application, widget, preference pane and plugin as easily as it was installed — just drag and drop. AppZapper intelligently finds leftover support files and allows users to put them in the trash with a single click.
Mac OS X lets you install most applications with a simple drag to the applications folder. Many people decide they don’t want an application and drag it to the trash. However, this does not remove the extra preferences, caches, and other support files generated during launch — files that can sometimes be many times larger than the applications themselves. AppZapper helps clean up these leftover files.
AppZapper 1.5 introduces a brand new way to zap: ZapGenie — which allows you to browse your collection of apps, search them, and sort them by the last time you used them. Now you can find all the apps you no longer use and zap them away.
Individuals can purchase AppZapper for $12.95 and a brand new Family Pack registers all members of the same household for only $18. The free shareware version allows you to zap five times prior to purchase. All are available at AppZapper.com

I wonder if appzapper can zap itself

Ben: For that you’ll need AppZapper SelfZapper 1.1.
A free program, launched with the key combination Cmd-F and bundled free with every Mac does the same thing AppZapper does.
By the way, I have a bridge for sale and some property in Florida.
OK, so how do you zap the AppZapper SelfZapper 1.1?
Jim: You’ll have to wait for the release of the AppZapper SelfZapper 1.2.
AppZapper SelfZapper 1.2 isn’t expected to be released until Sept 06.
Your all a bunch of dumass j*rkoffs which only emphasizes your pathetic lack of imagination and intelligence.
No, Bonkers, information I read elsewhere indicates the next version of AppZapper SelfZapper 1.1 will in fact be the AppZappyZapper SelfZappyZapZapper 2.0, just released for Beta testing. It’s another obvious ploy to charge an additional fee to users simply by increasing the version number and a supposed increase in features, even though it simply gets rid of itself getting rid of itself. I see no value in the coming upgrade myself.
Not to be confused with AppZappa which makes GarageBand truly funky, changes all of your screensavers into yellow snowstorms and in Speech Preferences changes Victoria into a Valley Girl.
I think a lot of you guys have Zapped yourselves……
Did I pass the new and stringent MDN Thread Imagination Test (MTIT)?
I await with ‘bated breath. If not, I may have to uninstall myself.
Ay caramba!
– you’ve missed out a ‘b’ in dumbass.
Dirty Pierre: Your nothin’ but a dumbass for correcting my spelling = get a life and leave the real thinking to me!
Hg Wells:
Thanks for the great laffs
OK, I’m a switcher. Will someone pleasr explain what the Cmd-F keys are?
Ay caramba!
– you’ve missed out an ‘n’ in nothing.
Gee, this is just like an episode of Drawn together….
Ay Caramba is at it again. You really do need to get laid (as I said over on the “Independent Resolution” post) or at least a sense of humor.
Now, back to the topic at hand. Does anyone really see the need for this product? Any really large piece of software that you may install on your Mac comes with an uninstaller to clean up any small files that you miss with the “wholesale” drag to the trash uninstall method (which, to me, has always felt very visceral – nice). Just do an erase and install with every major OS update and you’ll never need this app.
I’m still waiting for the FrankZappa to be released.
TowerTone,
Do you mean where they are? If that is your question, on a Mac the “Apple” key (more correctly known as the “Command” key) is right next to the space bar. If you hold down this key and the “F” key at the same time, it will launch a find dialog box. For example, to search for all posts by Cubert on this page.
Okay … but what about the dozens of apps I’ve already deleted?
Can this program go back & find the useless left-over files & directories I no longer need?
Cmd-F is just the find function when in Finder. This would be how to find different parts of the application that you would be trying to uninstall.
Thanks, Dimplemonkey, for upgrading my thread comment.
I downloaded the update and the answer is NO. Appzapper cannot delete itself!!
I guess i wasted my money 🙁
