Anaheim, California – Independent software developer Reggie Ashworth has announced the release of AppDelete 4.2, a major update to his very popular application deletion utility for Mac OS X. With a simple Drag & Drop, AppDelete will uninstall anything along with all of the associated items. Mac users will no longer have to hunt through their system to find and delete these items manually.

You can drag any item that can be uninstalled onto AppDelete: Applications, Widgets, Preference Panes, Plugins, Screensavers, etc. You can also activate AppDelete in many ways: dragging items onto main window, onto dock icon, selecting in menu, right-clicking using AppDelete workflow, dragging from Launchpad, and throwing items in the trash. When the preview screen appears you can uncheck any items you would like to exclude.

You also have several choices: delete the items, log only the items, or archive (copy) the items to a .zip file for safekeeping or reinstall at a later date. The items you delete will be moved to the trash and arranged in a folder so that you can see exactly what was deleted and you know exactly where it came from. The items will not be removed from your computer until you empty them from your trash. You can also undo the last delete if you choose.

Version 4 has been 100% redesigned and updated and just one look will show you that this is an entirely new AppDelete. AppDelete Version 4.2 will run on Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite, and here are a few of the new features included:

New in Version 4.2:
* Optimized for Yosemite (still backwards compatible with Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks)
* New refreshed UI and graphics for Yosemite
* New app icon for all OS versions
* Improved and more efficient search algorithm
* Now possible to copy/paste from log
* Fixed issue where menu bar icon wouldn’t appear in dark mode (Yosemite)
* Miscellaneous bug-fixes and optimizations throughout
* And new website…

Feature Highlights:
* Search filters to find items for deletion fast (including old PPC apps)
* Finds associated items that are invisible or hidden
* Trash monitoring so that simply throwing an app in the trash triggers AppDelete
* Archive/Install from Archive feature for safekeeping and transferring items to another Mac
* Password requested only once if needed instead of multiple requests

There are various options to make your AppDelete experience complete: Quick search filters to help choose items for deletion, Force Empty Trash, an Orphans feature to search and delete orphaned files, Install from Archive even for another Mac, various options in Preferences, and more. AppDelete is a must-have utility for software tinkerers, beta testers, casual users, and the perfect companion to any Mac fanatic’s toolbox.
