FAQPage Schema

How do I safely clean up disk space on macOS without deleting important files?▼

To safely clean up macOS disk space, you can use a guided workflow that scans caches, logs, and large files, then presents reclaimable items for explicit user confirmation before any deletion occurs. This prevents accidental loss of important data.

What is consuming my macOS storage space in development environments?▼

Development environments on macOS consume storage through accumulated caches, logs, and remnant files. Analyzing disk usage with a Python-based scanner identifies these large files and environment remnants, showing exactly what consumes your storage.

Can I analyze macOS disk usage interactively in a tmux session?▼

Yes, you can analyze macOS disk usage interactively in a tmux session. Running the analysis in a TTY session via tmux ensures reliable execution on Claude Code, using Mole to scan your home directory for reclaimable space.

Does safe macOS cleanup require manual confirmation before removing files?▼

Safe macOS cleanup requires explicit manual confirmation before removing any files. The workflow presents what will be deleted and its impact, ensuring a cautious, user-confirmed cleanup process that defaults to keeping data intact unless approved.

What is the best way to reclaim macOS storage from caches and large files?▼

The best way to reclaim macOS storage is running a diagnostic scan to identify caches, logs, and large files, reviewing the recommended removals and their impact, then manually applying the safe deletions to free up disk space.
