โโ ๐ Desktop 12.7GB- Is Mole safe? โ Mole focuses on cleaning caches and logs, without touching app settings, user documents, or system files. You can run
mo clean --dry-runto preview what will be removed before actually cleaning. - How often should I clean? โ About once a month, or whenever you notice disk space running low.
- Can I protect specific caches? โ Yes. Run
mo clean --whitelistto interactively choose which caches to keep. Some common ones like Playwright browsers and HuggingFace models are already protected by default.
- Star this repo if Mole helped you recover disk space
