DevSweep
Reclaim gigabytes of developer cache — safely, and only what you choose.
The problem
Developer machines silently fill with gigabytes of cache — Android emulators, Gradle, npm, Docker, SDK scratch — but generic disk cleaners can't tell what's safe to delete. Clear the wrong folder and you lose a configured emulator, a local database, or break Windows Update. So the space just sits there and the disk stays full.
The solution
DevSweep knows each developer cache: which are safe and regrow on the next build, which are gone for good, and which are booby-trapped. It never deletes on its own — every removal shows the exact paths and total size first, and irreversible ones require a spelled-out confirmation. A whole-disk view answers the question underneath it all: where did my space actually go?
Highlights
- Reclaims 19 categories of developer cache, from npm to Android emulators
- Never deletes automatically — you see the exact paths and sizes, then confirm
- A four-tier safety model; irreversible actions need a spelled-out confirm
- A whole-disk explorer to find where your space really went
- Runs as you, not administrator — the OS is a second opinion on every path
