Version: 3.4.1
Although this is version 3.4.1, I had not seen or tried this one before, odd.
I now use Trashme 3 and am very satisfied with it.
I used Trashme and Pearcleaner side by side for a while and Trashme displayed more related files to delete in 9 out of 10 times. So not very good I guess.
Pearcleaner's interface isn't really for me either. Seems more like a Windows 11 program . Of course that is something personal.
It is free though. But unfortunately does not work properly compared to other uninstallers like Trashme.

Version: 3.3.4
Not a review, but more like a query. I have been using the excellent program AppCleaner to remove applications I no longer want nor need. Wondering how this one, which is inspired by Freemacsoft's AppCleaner, compares with AppCleaner (also free). There are times where AppCleaner does not find every file associated with a app I want to remove, but I have that issue resolved. I just launch another excellent free app called EasyFind to find those other files. Works like a charm!
