[FR] Remove Remaining Files from Already Removed Apps #23

Closed Anvil5465 closed 3 months ago

Anvil5465 commented 3 months ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

There are some apps that I've already removed before installing Pearcleaner which left some leftover files. As it is, I have to reinstall apps I've removed and uninstall them using Pearcleaner or just find leftover files myself, which is a bit tedious.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be nice if Pearcleaner had a feature to scan for and remove leftover files from previously removed apps. Nektony's App Cleaner & Uninstaller can do this (https://nektony.com/mac-app-cleaner)

That's funny you mention that, I'm currently working on this feature 😂 Trying to do a reverse search where it checks files against all currently installed apps, and what doesn't match gets spit out as leftover zombie files. It will probably take me a little bit to get this one fully fleshed out, but it's on the roadmap for sure!
