🚀 What's New in v1.1.0

🛠️ Extended Cleanup Targets

  • Windows.old Removal: Reclaim up to 20GB+ of space from previous Windows installations.
  • Spotify Media Cache: Wipes hidden media storage that grows indefinitely.
  • GPU Shader Caches: Clears NVIDIA (DXCache/GLCache) and AMD (DxCache) shader caches to fix micro-stuttering and refresh performance.
  • Deep Trace Scrubbing: Removes ShellBags (folder view history) and UserAssist (app execution history) for maximum privacy.

📊 Enhanced System Insights

  • Total Storage Readout: Now displays your total drive capacity alongside free space (e.g., 31 GB of 118 GB).
  • Cleanup Duration Timer: See exactly how many seconds the "Zero Trace" process took.
  • Improved Space Metrics: More accurate calculation of space freed using PowerShell integration.

🎨 Refined Experience

  • ANSI Color UI: A modern, color-coded terminal experience for better readability.
  • Dynamic Progress Bar: Real-time visual tracking of the 16-step cleanup process.
  • App-Specific Cleaning: Added deep cleaning for VS Code and Discord caches.

✅ What’s Included

  • ZeroTrace.exe — Branded, portable, admin-enabled executable.
  • ZeroTrace_v1.1.bat — Full source script with the new 16-step logic.
  • MIT License — Free to use, modify, and distribute.

⚙️ How to Use

  1. Download ZeroTrace.exe
  2. Right-click → Run as administrator
  3. The script will automatically close running apps (Spotify, Discord, VS Code, Browsers) to ensure a deep clean.
