Review
iTrash for Mac helps you quickly remove unwanted apps and associated files that a typical uninstall can leave behind. With a streamlined interface and plenty of customization options, this app is a good choice for users of all experience levels.
Pros
Quick process: The main interface is just a small window with a trash can icon in the middle. To remove apps, just drag them to the window and drop them in. This causes a new window to pop up, listing the main app file as well as associated files to be discarded. From here, you can choose to remove all files listed or only some of them, and then process the deletion. All deleted files are moved to the main Trash on your desktop, so you can always go retrieve them later if you realize you put something there by mistake.
Ghost Mode and Ignore List: Turning on Ghost Mode allows the app to work in the background, so that whenever you put something in the Trash, it will automatically find any additional files associated with the original and give you the opportunity to get rid of them as well. This streamlines the process of using the app even further.
Cons
No Help: There is no Help documentation for this app. While most of the features are generally straightforward to find and operate, it's always nice to have something to refer back to if you have a question.
Limited trial: Trial limitations are certainly normal and expected, but this app only lets you try it three times before you have to decide to purchase.
Bottom Line
iTrash for Mac is a quick and efficient program to help you completely uninstall items from your computer. It works quickly and without hassle.
Editors' note: This is a review of the trial version of iTrash for Mac 3.0.1.
