What problem does it solve?

It helps users recover storage space and improve perceived performance by identifying large, duplicate, stale, and cache-heavy files that can be safely removed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scans disk usage and prioritizes reclaimable space: Finds large files, duplicate candidates, old downloads, and summarizes where space is being used before deleting anything.
  • Read-only inspection of caches, then optional cleanup: Probes app, browser, developer, Docker, and Trash sizes so users can choose what to clear.
  • Safety-first, consent-gated deletions: Presents a consolidated cleanup plan and only runs destructive actions after the user selects categories.

Quick Start

Use the disk-cleanup skill to scan your disk for large, duplicate, and old cached files, then clear the selected items after reviewing the proposed cleanup plan.

FAQPage Schema
How do I free up disk space by finding large files and duplicates?▼

To free up disk space, you can scan your disk to identify large files, duplicates, and stale downloads, then review a proposed cleanup plan and select safe targets to delete.

What is the safest way to purge cache and empty trash on macOS or Windows?▼

The safest way to purge cache and empty trash is using a consent-gated approach that provides a dry-run preview of removable items before executing any actual file deletions.

Can I identify what is using my disk capacity without accidentally deleting important files?▼

Yes, you can identify what is using disk capacity through read-only inspection of caches, browser data, and downloads, which generates a summary of space usage without modifying files.

How do I clear Docker and developer cache to resolve low storage warnings?▼

You can clear Docker and developer cache by probing these specific directories for reclaimable space, adding them to a consolidated cleanup plan, and deleting them only after explicit user consent.

Why does my laptop slow down from disk space pressure and how can I fix it?▼

Laptop slowness from disk space pressure happens when storage is near capacity; fix it by scanning for removable cache, trash, and old downloads, then safely deleting selected items to recover space.
