Uninstaller that removes everything

When you uninstall or remove programs from your Mac, they often leave bit behind. iTrash is an uninstall utility that uses a special search algorithm known as the 'Levenshtein Distance algorithm' to find all related files and delete them.

This is because many (although not all) applications install several files and folders throughout your system meaning that deleting an application itself is not enough to make sure you get rid of everything. iTrash features a simple drag and drop interface that allows you to drag applications into it to ensure full removal. If you make a mistake, there's a handy 'Put Back' feature in iTrash for OS X 10.6+, which restores removed files.

Alternatively, you can set iTrash to run in the background in Ghost Mode so that when you drag something into the Trash, iTrash automatically detects the associated files that need to be removed. An additional Expert makes it possible to find related files although this can be a little over zealous in trying to remove files that either aren't associated or shouldn't be removed. iTrash is also suitable for removing Widgets and PrefPanes and can be configured to protect important related applications files (.plist, application support).

iTrash is a powerful tool that removes all of the annoying files and folders that would normally get left behind when you uninstall programs.

Softonic

In Softonic we scan all the files hosted on our platform to assess and avoid any potential harm for your device. Our team performs checks each time a new file is uploaded and periodically reviews files to confirm or update their status. This comprehensive process allows us to set a status for any downloadable file as follows:

Clean

It’s extremely likely that this software program is clean.

What does this mean?

We have scanned the file and URLs associated with this software program in more than 50 of the world's leading antivirus services; no possible threat has been detected.

Warning

This software program is potentially malicious or may contain unwanted bundled software.

Why is the software program still available?

Based on our scan system, we have determined that these flags are possibly false positives.

What is a false positive?

It means a benign program is wrongfully flagged as malicious due to an overly broad detection signature or algorithm used in an antivirus program.

We’d like to highlight that from time to time, we may miss a potentially malicious software program. To continue promising you a malware-free catalog of programs and apps, our team has integrated a Report Software feature in every catalog page that loops your feedback back to us.

Flag any particular issues you may encounter and Softonic will address those concerns as soon as possible.
