WHY
CACHE-
SWEEP

Development projects accumulate massive cache folders over time. Node_modules can reach 500MB+ per project. Rust targets exceed 1GB. Cache-sweep finds and safely removes them all.

BLAZINGLY FAST

Built in Rust with async parallel scanning. Finds thousands of folders in seconds.

SAFE BY DEFAULT

System directories are protected. No accidental deletions of config files.

INTERACTIVE TUI

Beautiful terminal interface with search, sort, multi-select, and analytics.

17 PROFILES

Node, Python, Rust, Java, Swift, Unity, Unreal, and more ecosystems.

REAL-TIME ANALYTICS

See space breakdown by folder type. Identify what's eating your disk.

JSON OUTPUT

Pipe results to other tools with --json or stream with --json-stream.
