sue-runpod-cleanup

What problem does it solve?

RunPod pods' /workspace storage frequently fills up with old, unaccessed experiment outputs, checkpoints, and cached data over time, leading to unnecessary storage costs and potential out-of-space errors that disrupt ongoing work.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Pre-cleanup visibility: Scans and reports the top 5 space-consuming directories in /workspace before any deletion to help operators understand storage usage patterns.
• Multiple operation modes: Supports on-demand interactive cleanup, automated pod-side hourly cron, and Mac mini launchd daemon mode for continuous, unattended cost control across single or multiple pods.
• Audit-ready safety: Logs every deleted file and directory for full traceability, strictly scopes operations to /workspace only to avoid accidental system file deletion, and requires explicit confirmation for on-demand destructive runs.
• Use case: If you are preparing a RunPod pod for a new ML experiment and need to reclaim space from prior runs, use this skill to safely delete stale files not accessed in the last 2 days.

Quick Start

Use the sue-runpod-cleanup skill to scan your RunPod pod's /workspace directory for stale files and delete any files or empty directories not accessed in the last 2 days to free up storage space.
