Yank is a shareware application that does two things:
1) Uninstalls an application and files created by the application by moving them to the Trash.
2) Cleans up your Preferences folder by moving outdated files to the Trash.
Nothing is deleted — all files are moved to the Trash.
Open the Trash folder and watch those unneeded files pile up! If you want to replace the files, click on them, and select “Put Away” from the File menu (command-Y).
Yank is a fat-binary application, which means it runs in native mode on a Power Macs and 68K Macs. System 7 is required.
For more information, please see the files in the User's Manual folder.
New for 1.2:
• When uninstalling, you can now select which files that are related to the application to uninstall, and which files to leave alone. For example, suppose you want to uninstall Microsoft Word, yet keep all your Microsoft Word documents. Now you can easily do that with Yank 1.2.
New for 1.2.1:
• Some earlier versions of system software for Power Macs do not contain the Translation Manager necessary for displaying icons associated with an application. Previously there was no check for the Translation Manager, and Yank would simply crash if it was not present. Now there is a check, and if the Translation Manager is not present, an alert is displayed stating such.
