What This Skill Cleans

Category	Examples
Temp Files	%TEMP%, /tmp, system temp folders
Browser Cache	Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari cache
Recycle Bin / Trash	Windows Recycle Bin, macOS Trash, Linux Trash
Log Files	Old .log files in system/app folders

⚠️ NEVER delete: Documents, Downloads, Desktop files, user data, system files, installed apps, or anything outside designated junk folders.

Mode Selection

Always ask the user FIRST (if not already specified):

• Auto Mode — Clean everything silently, show summary at end
• Confirm Mode — Ask user before each category is cleaned

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Detect Operating System

Detect the OS using Python:

import platform
os_type = platform.system()  # "Windows", "Linux", "Darwin" (Mac)

Step 2: Run the Appropriate Script

Based on OS, refer to the matching reference file:

• Windows → See windows-cleaner.md
• Linux → See linux-cleaner.md
• macOS → See mac-cleaner.md

Step 3: Show Results

After cleaning, always show:

• ✅ How much space was freed (MB/GB)
• 📁 Which categories were cleaned
• ⚠️ Anything skipped and why
