Reggie Ashworth (www.reggieashworth.com) has announced AppDelete 4.0.8, a new version of his application deletion utility. It’s a maintenance release with some bug fixes.

You can drag any item that can be uninstalled onto AppDelete: applications, widgets, preference panes, plugins, screensavers, etc. You can also activate AppDelete in many ways: dragging items onto main window, onto dock icon, selecting in menu, right-clicking using AppDelete workflow, dragging from Launchpad, and throwing items in the trash. When the preview screen appears you can uncheck any items you would like to exclude.

You also have several choices: delete the items, log only the items, or archive (copy) the items to a .zip file for safekeeping or reinstall at a later date. The items you delete will be moved to the trash and arranged in a folder so that you can see exactly what was deleted and you know exactly where it came from. The items will not be removed from your computer until you empty them from your trash. You can also undo the last delete if you choose.

AppDelete 4.0.8 requires Mac OS X 10.7 or higher. It costs US$7.99 for a single user license. Upgrades from Version 2/AppDelete Lite are $3.99. A full-featured demo is available for download.
