Previously, I discussed how to install apps on Apple OSX. Uninstalling apps is almost the procedure, only backwards.

To uninstall, drag an application from the application folder to the trash bin icon

The only drawback of this method is it leaves some residue in your system folders. The files in question are negligible but it does accumulate over time.

Enter Apptrap

Apptrap basically tracks all applications installed on your mac. And should you decide to uninstall in the future. Apptrap also purges all files associated with the application.

It will ask you if you also want to move to the trash associated system files.

Easy, no brainer, works in the background. Best of all, the app is free!
