I'm looking for a utility that will scan the hard drive for "orphan" files or folders left behind after removing a program the traditional way . .. dragging the program to the garbage. I understand that when you think you've deleted a program, often times there are associated orphan files in other folders, taking up disk space. I did download AppDelete, which will remove programs *and* their associated files for future use, but I'd like to know if there is a program that will scan for orphans *after* you've already deleted the program, ala Cleansweep for the PC.
