[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1914102, member: 175845"] Hmmm...??? I didn't notice AppCleaner on that list, but it isn't usually used for cleaning up any cache files but maybe part of it's incidental clean up when removing an application and any associated files or folders. For such application removal, one can usually do so manually or use any uninstaller that might be available. In this case: [URL unfurl="true"]https://nektony.com/how-to/uninstall-appcleaner[/URL] For those without an uninstaller, I usually use the finder and Find Any File.app to seek and destroy any leftover bits for pieces that might be a associated, usually by applicationname or developername. I would not think so. The Mac OS would probably just ignore them. Maybe try using Appcleaner to clean up all appcleaner bits and pieces if you don't want to use it. But personally, I would just leave it in place for if and when you need it again. It's very likely that you will... ;) - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
