What problem does it solve?

It helps users recover storage space and improve perceived performance by identifying large, duplicate, stale, and cache-heavy files that can be safely removed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scans disk usage and prioritizes reclaimable space: Finds large files, duplicate candidates, old downloads, and summarizes where space is being used before deleting anything.
  • Read-only inspection of caches, then optional cleanup: Probes app, browser, developer, Docker, and Trash sizes so users can choose what to clear.
  • Safety-first, consent-gated deletions: Presents a consolidated cleanup plan and only runs destructive actions after the user selects categories.

Quick Start

Use the disk-cleanup skill to scan your disk for large, duplicate, and old cached files, then clear the selected items after reviewing the proposed cleanup plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I free up disk space by finding large files and duplicates?

To free up disk space, you can scan your disk to identify large files, duplicates, and stale downloads, then review a proposed cleanup plan and select safe targets to delete.

What is the safest way to purge cache and empty trash on macOS or Windows?

The safest way to purge cache and empty trash is using a consent-gated approach that provides a dry-run preview of removable items before executing any actual file deletions.

Can I identify what is using my disk capacity without accidentally deleting important files?

Yes, you can identify what is using disk capacity through read-only inspection of caches, browser data, and downloads, which generates a summary of space usage without modifying files.

How do I clear Docker and developer cache to resolve low storage warnings?

You can clear Docker and developer cache by probing these specific directories for reclaimable space, adding them to a consolidated cleanup plan, and deleting them only after explicit user consent.

Why does my laptop slow down from disk space pressure and how can I fix it?

Laptop slowness from disk space pressure happens when storage is near capacity; fix it by scanning for removable cache, trash, and old downloads, then safely deleting selected items to recover space.
