Dear members, I have a app called disk inventory x. I never use this app and I would like to manually delete it since my app zapper expired. The only file I see is in my app folder. Where else do I need to look for other files?
Got a tip for us?

There are 6 common places for application-related files to live.
Preferences (for you only): ~/Library/Preferences
Support Files (for you only): ~/Library/Application Support
Caches (for you only): ~/Library/Caches
Preferences (for all users): /Library/Preferences
Support Files (for all users): /Library/Application Support
Caches (for all users): /Library/Caches
The above are UNIX-style paths. A path starting with ~ begins at your home folder. A path starting with / begins at the root of Macintosh HD (or whatever your boot drive is named).

If you really wanted to be sure that everything was gone, you could download and install AppCleaner or AppDelete (both free), re-install AppZapper, and then re-delete it.
Although if your purpose was to get *all* application-removing software off of your computer, this method is obviously not going to work.

They both work equally well, but it's been a while since I used AppDelete.
You should re-install AppZapper so you can delete it again with either of the applications mentioned above, except this time the program will find all of the associated files and put them in the trash also.
