## Application Data Cleaner
Cleans application data folders that accumulate temporary files, caches, and junk data.
- **Smart Scanning**: Recursively scans for cache, temp, and junk files
- **Size Visualization**: Shows folder sizes with human-readable formatting
- **Selective Deletion**: Choose exactly which folders to delete
- **Configurable Depth**: Control scanning depth with slider
**Targets:**
- **Windows**: Temp folders, cache folders, crash dumps, pending files, log files in AppData (Local, Roaming, LocalLow)
- **Linux**: Cache and temp folders in ~/.config, ~/.cache, ~/.local/share, ~/.local/state, /tmp
- **macOS**: Cache and temp folders in ~/Library/Caches, ~/Library/Application Support, ~/Library/Logs
## Dev Cleaner
Cleans development-related temporary folders that consume significant disk space.
- **Pattern-Based Filtering**: Filter folders by name patterns
- **Category Filtering**: Filter folders by category
- **Deep Scanning**: Scan through project directories
**Targets:**
- **node_modules**: Node.js dependencies (restorable with `npm install`)
- **.cache**: Application caches (Babel, ESLint, etc.)
- **Library/Binary/Intermediate**: Unity and build artifacts
- **Build folders**: Target, dist, build directories
- **Package manager caches**: npm, yarn, pip caches
**Features:**
- Pattern-based detection with configurable patterns
- Category filtering (cache, modules, builds, etc.)
- Deep scanning through project directories
- Safe deletion of regenerable folders
## Technology Stack
- **Electron**: Cross-platform desktop framework
- **Vue 3**: Progressive JavaScript framework with Composition API
- **Vuetify 3**: Material Design component library
- **Node.js**: File system operations and scanning logic
## Development
### Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher

### Installation
**Using npm:**
```bash
npm install # Install dependencies
npm run dev # Run in development
npm run build # Build for production
```
**Using Windows batch files:**
```cmd
setup.bat # Install dependencies
dev.bat # Run in development
build.bat # Build for production
run.bat # Run built application
```
**Using macOS:**
