AppZapper Help

Frequently Asked Questions



Why can't I drag the folder containing the application (.app file) onto AppZapper?
Instead of dragging the folder, drag the app itself. AppZapper extracts information from the app to find related files.

Why should I use AppZapper instead of just dragging files into the trash?
AppZapper streamlines the process of collecting associated files so you can be confident that you completely and thoroughly remove an application.

Does AppZapper run in the background?
No, AppZapper is an application you must launch.

Can I Zap the AppZapper application using AppZapper?
AppZapper should only be used on apps that suck.

Are there any known issues?
In some extreme cases, AppZapper will not function properly if an application does not follow any guidelines for file storage. This is not an issue in a large majority of modern applications.
