SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Audits storage across all drives to identify space hogs, orphaned worktrees, and large caches or artifacts, then yields a prioritized cleanup plan with exact migration or removal commands.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Drive survey to surface free space and identify critical or warning thresholds.
  • Artifact discovery for AI caches (.ollama, .gemini, .cursor, npm, pip), project artifacts (node_modules, .venv) and build directories.
  • Safe cleanup guidance with concrete commands and migration instructions for moving data to alternate drives.

Quick Start

Run /houseclean to perform a full audit and generate a prioritized action list of safe cleanup and migrations.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely clean up large disk caches and project artifacts across multiple drives?

To safely clean up disk caches and project artifacts, run an audit that surfaces drive free space and categorizes space hogs like AI caches and node_modules. The scan generates a prioritized action list with concrete removal commands and safety checks.

What is the best way to find and remove orphaned git worktrees taking up disk space?

Finding orphaned worktrees involves auditing all drives to identify isolated project artifacts and stale directories. The audit categorizes these orphaned worktrees as space hogs and provides exact cleanup commands to safely remove them without data loss.

Can I migrate ollama, npm, and cursor caches to another drive without breaking my setup?

Yes, you can migrate ollama, npm, and cursor caches to an alternate drive. The audit provides tool-specific migration commands and guided execution instructions to safely move large cache directories while maintaining your environment setup.

How do I audit my machine for space hogs like IDE caches and package manager artifacts?

Auditing your machine for space hogs requires a drive survey that identifies critical storage thresholds. It discovers IDE caches, package caches, and build directories, then categorizes them by size to produce a prioritized cleanup plan.

Does disk cleanup work for any project and machine, or do I need specific dependencies?

Disk cleanup applies across any project and machine without requiring specific dependencies. It performs a full audit to surface free space, categorize items, and provide exact cleanup or migration commands tailored to your discovered artifacts.

Why should I use a prioritized cleanup plan instead of manually deleting large caches?

A prioritized cleanup plan prevents data loss by applying safety checks before removing large caches. It categorizes items by severity, documents tool-specific migrations, and delivers concrete commands, ensuring safe execution rather than risky manual deletion.
