📣Introduction

Because every time you delete a third-party installed app under Mac, you cannot delete it manually. Therefore, I wrote a small tool to delete app dependencies, configurations, logs, and caches.

✨Technology

According to keywords, traverse the following folders

'~/Library/Application Support',
'~/Library/Preferences/',
'~/Library/Caches/',
'~/Library/Logs/',
'~/Library/Application Support/CrashReporter/',
'~/Library/Saved Application State/',
'~/Library/LaunchAgents/',
'/Library/Caches',
'/Library/Logs',
'/Library/Preferences/',
'/Library/Application Support',
'/Applications',
'/private/var/db/receipts',
'/Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Extensions',
'/Library/StagedExtensions/Library/Application Support',
'/Library/Extensions/',
'~',
'~/.config/'

🔰Install

1. Dependency install

pip install prettytable
pip install colorama

2. Add bash script to env

$ vim /etc/profile
export PATH="$PATH:{maclean_path}"

$ source /etc/profile

📝Usage

1. If you want to delete app

Firstly finds app's full name with command: ls -al /Applications

......
drwxr-xr-x@  3 root     wheel    96  4 10  2020 Keynote.app
drwxr-xr-x@  3 root     wheel    96  2 23  2019 Launchpad.app
......

Then input command: maclean ShadowsocksX-NG.app

 $ maclean ShadowsocksX-NG.app

2. If it's dependency, log, cache or someting others

For example, I want to delete Samsung's portablessd: maclean portablessd

$ maclean portablessd
