What problem does it solve?

This skill solves the frustration of running out of disk space by providing a transparent, read-only analysis of your storage, identifying exactly what is consuming your capacity, and offering safe, actionable cleanup paths.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Intelligent Disk Scanning: Automatically detects system-specific storage hogs on macOS and Windows, including caches, logs, and hidden containers.
  • Three-Tier Cleanup Logic: Categorizes files into green (safe to auto-clean), yellow (requires human judgment), and red (system-critical, do not touch) to prevent accidental data loss.
  • Interactive Reporting: Generates a beautiful, local HTML dashboard that allows you to preview, open, or safely move files to the trash with a single click.

Quick Start

Run the storage analyzer skill to scan your disk and generate an interactive cleanup report in your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions about storage-analyzer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify what is taking up disk space on macOS and Windows?▼

A non-destructive disk audit scans your system to categorize storage usage by file type and directory. It identifies space hogs like caches and hidden containers on macOS and Windows while keeping your data completely safe.

Can I safely clean temporary files without accidentally deleting system data?▼

Yes, safe disk cleanup uses a three-tier logic categorizing files into green, yellow, and red tiers. This prevents accidental data loss by flagging system-critical files as red and requiring human judgment for yellow-tier items.

How do I generate an interactive disk usage report for cleanup?▼

Run a disk analysis scan to generate a local HTML dashboard. This interactive report visualizes disk usage and allows you to preview, open, or safely move cached files to the trash with a single click.

Does disk cleanup move files to the trash or permanently delete them?▼

Disk cleanup moves files to the trash rather than permanently deleting them. This secure, reversible file removal utilizes system-native trash integration, ensuring you can recover anything you might need later.

What is the best way to remove hidden cache containers on macOS?▼

The best way to remove hidden cache containers is using an intelligent disk scanner that categorizes system-specific storage hogs. It identifies these hidden directories and offers user-confirmed, reversible cleanup actions.
