Using AppCleaner

Although the AppCleaner interface is in English, it is very easy to use. Simply drag the application you wish to uninstall into the window. AppCleaner will automatically scan for related files and ask for confirmation before deletion.

Additionally, you can switch to List View to see all applications on your Mac and click any app to scan and uninstall it. The List View also supports filtering apps by keywords, making it easy to locate your target application.

AppCleaner's scanning speed is very fast and almost imperceptible. However, when uninstalling apps via the list, if AppCleaner is already open, newly installed applications may not appear immediately. You will need to restart AppCleaner to update the list, which is a minor drawback.

Conclusion

AppCleaner is a free, simple, and fast uninstallation tool that helps you thoroughly clean up applications and their residual files on your Mac. Its one-click uninstall, automatic scanning, and built-in search features make the cleanup process effortless and quick.
