Mac App Uninstaller & Residue Cleaner
Dragging an app to Trash leaves up to 80% of its data behind in hidden system libraries. CleanYourMac Space hunts down orphaned caches, containers, and preferences so you can clean them completely.
Why dragging to Trash leaves gigabytes of junk behind
When you drag an application from /Applications to Trash, macOS only deletes the executable bundle. All associated data remains silently stored in hidden ~/Library locations:
Persistent offline databases, local models, extensions, and user assets left permanently behind.
Downloaded web assets, thumbnail caches, and cached network requests from deleted apps.
Isolated sandbox directories created by Mac App Store apps in ~/Library/Containers.
The CleanYourMac Space Uninstaller Advantage
Complete Bundle & Residue Matching
Scans bundle identifiers, preferences, launch daemons, crash reports, and container sandboxes associated with any application.
Trash-First Safety Protocol
All uninstallation actions route through the macOS Trash system. If you uninstall an app by accident, you can restore all preferences from Trash in one click.
Orphaned Residue Hunter
Already deleted the app months ago? CleanYourMac Space detects orphaned application support folders whose parent app no longer exists.
Zero Background Daemons
Unlike bloated utility apps that install background helper services to monitor your clicks, CleanYourMac Space only runs when you open it.
