mac-cleaner-cli-disk-cleanup

Run npx mac-cleaner-cli to launch an interactive scan of caches, logs, temporary files, and development artifacts. Select categories with checkboxes, drill into folders with the arrow keys, and confirm to delete the selected items.

Run npx mac-cleaner-cli and select the Development Cache category, which covers npm, yarn, pip, Xcode DerivedData, and CocoaPods. You can also select the node-modules category to remove orphaned dependency folders from old projects.

Risky categories such as downloads older than 30 days, iOS backups, mail attachments, duplicates, and large files are hidden by default. They only appear when you pass the --risky flag, and every item still requires manual selection before deletion.

Yes, run npx mac-cleaner-cli uninstall and pick an app from the list. The tool removes the .app bundle along with its preferences, caches, and application support files, which dragging to Trash leaves behind.

The tool runs as the current user, so some system locations are not writable. Most categories work without elevation, but the DNS flush maintenance task requires running with sudo.

No, it is designed specifically for macOS and targets macOS-specific paths like ~/Library/Caches and Xcode DerivedData. The documentation points Windows users to a separate windows-cleaner-cli project.
