## Smart Uninstall
|
2025-09-25 20:22:51 +08:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Fast scan of `/Applications` with system-app filtering (e.g., `com.apple.*`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Ranks apps by last used time and shows size hints
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Two modes: batch multi-select (checkbox) or quick single-select
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Detects running apps and force‑quits them before removal
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Single confirmation for the whole batch with estimated space to free
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Cleans thoroughly and safely:
|
|
|
|
|
|
- App bundle (`.app`)
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Application Support/<App|BundleID>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Caches/<BundleID>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Preferences/<BundleID>.plist`
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Logs/<App|BundleID>`
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Saved Application State/<BundleID>.savedState`
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `~/Library/Containers/<BundleID>` and related Group Containers
|
|
|
|
|
|
- Final summary: apps removed, files cleaned, total disk space reclaimed
