# App Uninstaller

Remove an app and the files it left in your Library. Everything goes to the Trash, so you can change your mind.

## What it is

Dragging an app to the Trash leaves its files behind. App Uninstaller finds what it left in your Library, such as caches, preferences, containers, logs and saved state, and lets you choose what goes.

Everything moves to the Trash, nothing is deleted for good. Put anything back from there, or empty the Trash when you’re sure.

Apple’s apps and macOS itself are never touched, and Clacky isn’t listed.

## How to use it

1.  1
    
    Open App Uninstaller
    
    Open Clacky from the menu bar and click the App Uninstaller card in My Kit (add it from Explore if it isn’t there).
    
2.  2
    
    Pick an app
    
    Drop an app on the window, or pick it from the list. If it’s running, quit it first.

    Move to Trash
    
    Press Move to Trash… and confirm. Clacky says how much it moved; empty the Trash to free the space.
    

## Questions

Can I undo it?

Yes, until you empty the Trash. Everything moves there, nothing is deleted.

Can it remove Apple’s apps?

No. Apple’s apps and anything that is part of macOS are never removed.
