# App Be Gone

A simple Rust based application to remove applications and their associated files from your system.

## Usage

Dry run

```bash

cargo run Slack --dry-run

Would run: rm -rf /Applications/Slack.app

```

Run

Use caution when using this command. It will remove all files and folders that match the application name you provide.

```bash

cargo run Slack

Running: rm -rf /Applications/Slack.app

```

## Why?

This is a simple way to find all files and applications that are installed on your system and remove them in one go.

Use caution when using this application. It will remove all files and folders that match the application name you provide.

It also uses sudo to remove the files. This is because some applications are installed by the system and require root access to remove them.
