This tool is for educational purposes, focusing on safely removing development-related junk files (Xcode, Flutter, npm, etc.) to free up disk space.

• One-Click Cleanup: Clear Xcode, Flutter, Gradle, npm, Homebrew, IDE, and browser caches.
• Comprehensive Flutter Cleanup: Recursively finds and cleans all Flutter projects, removing:
  • FVM SDK caches and configurations (.fvm, .fvmrc)
  • Flutter build artifacts (build, .dart_tool, .packages, pubspec.lock)
  • Android Gradle caches (android/.gradle, android/build, android/app/build)
  • iOS CocoaPods caches (ios/Pods, ios/Podfile.lock, ios/.symlinks, Flutter frameworks)
  • Global Flutter cache
• Interactive Menu: Allows selection of specific cleanup targets (e.g., Xcode only).
• Multi-platform Support: Supports macOS and Linux (shell script).

The Flutter cleanup option (Option 4) performs a comprehensive recursive cleanup of all Flutter projects starting from the current directory. It:

• Recursively searches for all pubspec.yaml files
• Removes FVM SDK caches and configurations
• Cleans build artifacts: build/, .dart_tool/, .packages, pubspec.lock
• Removes Android Gradle caches from each project
• Removes iOS CocoaPods caches and Flutter frameworks
• Cleans global Flutter cache

💡 Pro Tip: If you have active projects you work on daily, consider running the cleanup from a specific subdirectory (e.g., ~/old_projects or ~/research) rather than your entire development folder. This avoids unnecessary rebuilds of dependencies for active projects.

Expected Space Savings: Users have reported freeing up 50-100GB+ of disk space after running Flutter cleanup on multiple projects.
