Delete unused applications with AppDelete

I am trying out new applications I come across frequently. AppDelete allows me to delete applications and their associated preference files and even folders from my Mac.

I keep AppDelete in the bottom right corner of my desktop and drag an application to it when I want to get rid of it. AppDelete asks for confirmation and then moves the application and its files to the Trash.

This is a super handy application that anyone who has a bloated Applications folder must have.
