SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Rule-based automated cleanup execution engine; supports dry-run preview and safety confirmation.

Core Features & Use Cases

Age-based cleanup: Delete files older than a configurable number of days (e.g., logs older than 7 days)
Size-based cleanup: Delete when a directory exceeds a size threshold; evict oldest first
Pattern-based cleanup: Apply rules to glob patterns (e.g., *.log, *.tmp)
Dry-Run Mode: Preview changes without applying and show estimated space reclaimed
Safety Checklist: Protected paths, minimum free space guard, allowlists/blacklists
Execution Logging: Audit-ready logs with timestamps for each action

Quick Start

Target a directory and run the cleanup in dry-run mode to preview what would be removed.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate disk space cleanup without accidentally deleting important files?▼

Automated disk space cleanup can be executed safely using dry-run previews and safety confirmations. Protected paths, allowlists, and blacklists prevent accidental deletion of critical data while reclaiming storage across directories.

How does a dry-run preview work for rule-based file deletion?▼

A dry-run preview simulates rule-based file deletion without applying actual changes. It generates a report showing exactly which files would be removed and estimates the total disk space that would be reclaimed.

Can I delete old log files automatically based on their age and file size?▼

Yes, you can delete old log files automatically by configuring age-based rules to remove files older than a specified number of days, and size-based rules to evict the oldest files first when a directory exceeds a threshold.

What is the best way to clean up temporary files and caches matching specific glob patterns?▼

The best way to clean up temporary files and caches is by using pattern-based cleanup rules. This applies automated deletion actions to specific glob patterns like *.log or *.tmp to safely free disk space.

Does automated cleanup provide execution logs for auditing file deletion actions?▼

Yes, automated cleanup provides audit-ready execution logs. These logs record timestamps for each file deletion or archiving action, ensuring a verifiable trail of all disk space reclamation activities.
