[QUOTE="CaptSaltyJack, post: 378189, member: 29975"] Thanks for the replies. AppZapper looks neat, but I wonder how it works. If it's just looking for files that match the name of your application, system wide, I can do that myself via Terminal. Verify the files that exist: find / -name '*AppI'mTrashing*' | more Then wipe them out: find / -name '*AppI'mTrashing*' -exec rm -rf {} \; And that doesn't cost $12.95. ;) But if AppZapper is doing more than that, then that's worth it. I just don't see how it can know what files are related to an app unless it monitors the application every time it runs. [/QUOTE]
