Light C Cross-Platform Disk Space Cleaner

Problem

Disk space on Windows, macOS, Linux, and HarmonyOS is often consumed by update caches, package-manager caches, logs, temporary files, and app leftovers, but careless deletion can crash running programs or slow down features. Light C targets this local disk-bloat problem by making cleanup auditable: scan first, assess next, delete last, and avoid touching system directories or user documents.

How It Works

• Platform detection: uses sys.platform and system metadata to distinguish Windows, macOS, Linux, and HarmonyOS, then selects matching cache paths.
• Health check: scans free space, temp directories, package-manager caches, browser caches, and developer tool caches, then generates a health score.
• Safe deletion: defaults to --dry-run preview, lists items and sizes, asks for confirmation before executing, and writes an operation log with path, size, and time.
• Boundary control: focuses on rebuildable caches, temporary files, Trash, and low-risk logs, without reading document contents or uploading data.

Limits and Notes

Useful for developers and operators managing system drives, mount points, npm/pip/brew/apt caches, and developer tool leftovers. If programs are running, avoid deleting temp files they depend on; Windows update caches and macOS snapshots may need to be re-downloaded or rebuilt after cleanup. Cleaning locations such as /var/log or system update caches may require administrator or sudo privileges.
