App Sweep won't quit until I delete all files

I have App Sweep enabled. The message comes up properly when I move an app to the trash. But if I do NOT choose to move all files to the trash, then the message comes up constantly. If I leave behind ANY files then the message returns as a nuisance every minute. I cannot just ask to keep all files when the boxes are checked and be done. The dialog box / notification / notifying window returns again. If I uncheck all the files, in order to move none to the trash, the message still returns. I have to either: 1. Turn off Hazel and keep those files. 2. Turn off App Sweep and keep those files. 3. Delete the files with uncertainty in order to allow App Sweep to run again in future uninstalls, and to allow Hazel to keep running.

First off, please do not post issues with Hazel in the "Forum/Site Discussion" section. That is for issues relating to the forums themselves or the site.

The quick way to alleviate it is to delete the app from the trash. As for why it's happening, what app is it? Can you check the logs? Go to Help->View Logs. Search for the app in question and see if there are any errors.
