TrashMe is a free and thorough application deleter for your Mac
Deleting an app in Mac OS X is sometimes as simple as dragging it to the trash, but more often than not, there are associated files and preferences scattered around your hard drive. When you want to delete an app the right way, without leaving behind those pesky related files, give TrashMe a shot. It's a free app deleter from JibApps that's compatible with OS X 10. Snow Leopard.
I've tried (and liked) AppZapper and other alternatives, but there are some things that TrashMe seems to do better. For instance, when I did a side by side comparison, TrashMe caught more related files. It also doesn't require you to drag-and-drop apps to delete them (although you can if you want to), and it lets you look for apps outside the applications folder. I'm not saying there aren't other file deleters, but I definitely like what I see from TrashMe. The price is right, too.

Thanks for the recommendation. I was already using AppZapper (and thought it was great), but I really like the interface on this one and it does seem to pick up a few more files on side-by-side comparisons.
I've now switched to this application and for the wonderful price of free you can't go wrong.

This feature should be part of the OS. When you drag an app to the trash, the OS should ask you if you want to trash your other files too.

The latest AppZapper is damn near impossible to beat. It's nearly perfect.

AppZapper doesn't seem to delete the related files/folders in the Library folder. I always have to do those manually. I hope TrashMe gets those. :|

There was already better than appzapper. It's called appcleaner 7 has function you enable called "smart delete" which when you delete an app automatically shows you other files associated & asks if you want those put to trash as well.
It's been around since '08 & is even available from apple's own site (and elsewhere google)

I will recommand a good tool to manage your ipad music and movies. Xilisoft iPad Magic helps Apple iPad tablet users to manage, organize, transfer, and convert media files to iPad. That means, as an iPad transfer, it can backup and transfer movies and music between iPad and your computer. As an iPad converter, it helps convert videos/audios/CD/DVD/ISO images/IFO folder to iPad supported formats, and as an iTunes surrogate, the iPad tool can copy iPad contents to iTunes.
Convert; manage; transfer(backup); three powerful fuctions in one.
