SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Perform safe, non-destructive workspace cleanup planning and execution to help users tidy disk usage, remove stale artifacts, or clean project directories without risking data loss.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Audit-first approach: read-only assessment of large files, build artifacts, temporary caches, and duplicates before any action.
  • Structured plan: categorize items into Safe to delete now, Review before delete, and Keep to guide decisions.
  • Safe execution with guardrails: require explicit approval before deletion and prefer reversible actions (trash/recycle) over permanent delete.
  • Verification and reporting: after cleanup, report items removed, space reclaimed, and items skipped intentionally.
  • Safety guardrails: never delete credentials, configuration files, or user documents by default; avoid destructive recursive deletes without explicit scoped confirmation.

Quick Start

Perform a safe, audit-first workspace cleanup by generating a plan and executing only after explicit user confirmation.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely clean up disk space in my developer workspace without losing data?

You can clean up disk space safely by auditing build artifacts, caches, and large files first, then generating a structured plan that requires explicit approval before deleting anything. This approach categorizes items for deletion, review, or keeping to prevent accidental data loss.

What is a non-destructive approach to removing stale build artifacts and temporary caches?

A non-destructive cleanup approach audits disk usage first, then categorizes items into safe to delete, review before delete, and keep. It requires explicit confirmation for deletions and prefers reversible actions like moving to trash over permanent deletion.

How do I audit disk usage and identify large files before deleting them from my project directory?

You audit disk usage by performing a read-only assessment of large files, build artifacts, temporary caches, and duplicates. This assessment generates a structured cleanup plan that categorizes items based on safety before any deletion action is taken.

Does workspace cleanup automatically delete configuration files and credentials?

No, workspace cleanup never deletes credentials, configuration files, or user documents by default. Safety guardrails prevent destructive recursive deletes without explicit scoped confirmation, ensuring sensitive files are always skipped during the cleanup process.

Can I reverse workspace deletions if I accidentally remove important project files?

Yes, safe workspace cleanup prefers reversible actions like trash or recycle over permanent delete. Explicit approval is required before any deletion occurs, and the system reports items removed, space reclaimed, and items intentionally skipped after execution.

What's the best way to trim artifact buildup in project folders with limited disk space?

The best way to trim artifact buildup is an audit-first cleanup that identifies stale artifacts and caches, creates a categorized deletion plan, and executes only after explicit confirmation. It reports total space reclaimed and items skipped to verify the outcome.
