EndlessFxI bought Uninstaller years ago because I sincerely wanted an uninstaller for ease in ridding no longer desired applications and all of their components from my computer. I played around with Uninstaller, which looked impressive and I am sure it could do more that I was pushing out of it, but I finally looked elsewhere, because for some reason Uninstaller left me baffled. I just never got the hang of it. Something about its use escaped me. It loaded applications and components but I could never figure out how to easily remove the applications and their parts and pieces easily (or at all) using Uninstaller. There was not a great manual to study and I finally said there had to be something else.
I think there should be a definitive manual, tutorials, and perhaps an online class for one! I'm a bit miffed at MacMagna for not taking the time to put together at step-by-step manual for those of us who supported them and paid for this software.
I still need a comprehensive uninstaller - one I don't have to worry about leaving half the hidden pieces of applications somewhere on my hard drive. Uninstaller may do that, but how do I make it do that?
I may be able to recommend it after getting a pdf manual or training on how to use Uninstaller.
Get a pdf out, MacMagna, or have that Screen Tutorial man from the UK put together a video tutorial for this application. (Has he already done that? I surely hope so.)
I've already paid and I'd like to use it. Thanks.

However, this approach requires a little more work than the passive app deleters, but not much. The most important point is that you have to use Uninstaller the FIRST time you run a new program. A month after the fact won't work. The procedure is basically very simple: 1) Start Uninstaller and hit the "Save" button to take a snapshot of your hard disk or home folder; 2) start the new program you want to try out for the first time, then quit that program; 3) open Uninstaller again and hit the "compare" button. Uninstaller will give you a list of any files or folders added; 4) if you wish, delete the files and folders right away, or go to the File menu > Save List, and your list can be stored for later deletion.
Usually after step 1, I either minimize Uninstaller or hide it (command-H) until I am ready to do step 3. This keeps it out of the way, but still running.
Uninstaller has many other features but this basic approach is all one really needs to keep track of programs you've installed. It's particularly necessary if you try out of a lot of shareware or demos and don't want the detritus from them lying around on your hard drive forever.
Other app deleters just don't do as complete a job in my experience. I've compared several of them head-to-head with Uninstaller and Uninstaller often lists files not found by the others, including invisible files (which Uninstaller shows in red).
As for the documentation, it is a bit hard to follow sometimes, and not helped by the fact that it is written with Frenglish grammer. But the basic idea is easy to grasp and there is always tech support if you get stuck.
