It turns off its background parts first, then moves itself to the Trash, with settings and history too if you choose.\n- **Suites show as one entry**: In the App Uninstaller, apps from one vendor that share a folder, like DaVinci Resolve's four, show as one group you can open, tick as a whole, or pick from one by one.\n- **Vendor uninstallers come first**: When a suite has its own uninstaller, Purge points you to it, and warns before you remove only part of the suite.\n\n## What's changed\n\n* feat: add Uninstall Purge (#330) by @jithin-sabu in #338\n* feat: group a vendor's apps that share a folder in the App Uninstaller (#155) by @jithin-sabu in #337\n\n**Full Changelog**: https://github.com/jithin-sabu/purge-app/compare/v1.14.0...v1.14.1\n\nSee the assets below to download and install this version.\n"},"readme":true,"readme_zh":true,"news":[{"title":"The Latest Updates to COSMIC Epoch 1","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMiY0FVX3lxTE10dzZzdE5rNy1iWWFfM2trSllYYktTNUQ5TFprQmFSWnhSclNnRS1lUEF0Uzlzc1djY1R6Qm5kakFJZEpFMDY4bU54QTFRY2VXQVNSUy1FdWVLcDVEZFB5TkM4aw?oc=5","source":"System76","lang":"en","date":"2026-01-16"},{"title":"Bot, Bye: How To Delete Spam YouTube Comments","url":"https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMihAFBVV95cUxNTlQ4cTRHcVNnV2RpQ0Y5azFTYlo0bUpyM2d0N3FOdm9Gb0paN3MteTZYcWFzNTRNOTNwNGtSUlh1WDA4T1hXWExZRkR2akRUbVMwR2ZjMTc3ZnZ1ZmJ1cUlDdzQ0UmZfOXFialJjY3BYRC1FbTNmb3IwemxwRlV6Z0RkQjE?oc=5","source":"Mashable India","lang":"en","date":"2022-10-03"}],"stale":false,"snapshot_at":"2026-11-10T09:35:25Z","history_start":"2026-09-06"}
