Disk Prune 0.2.0

Disk Prune 0.2.0

20+ new cleanup rules

• Browser caches: Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, Firefox (deb and snap), Flatpak apps. Profiles and logins are never touched; while a browser is running the rule becomes a manual step.
• Electron app caches (VS Code, Slack, Discord, …), skipped while the app runs. Stale locks left by a crash are recognised.
• Obsolete VS Code/Cursor extension versions; caches of older JetBrains IDE versions.
• uv (only data not hard-linked into a venv), Poetry, Conda, pnpm, npx, Yarn, Go, Gradle, Selenium, Playwright, Mesa shader cache, tracker3. Hugging Face models are a manual step only.
• System: orphaned snapd downloads, apt autoremove (simulated first; kernels excluded), unused Flatpak runtimes, systemd core dumps, Trash on other drives.

More accurate

• APT counts only .debs and partial downloads. Package lists are rebuilt on the next apt, so they no longer count.
• Leftover kernel module dirs also purge their rc dpkg records.
• Snap revisions include each revision's data and show what is freed now vs. later.
• The journal estimate replays journald's own vacuum.

Runs on any Ubuntu 22.04 machine

• System paths come from apt-config, snap, flatpak, journald, apport, fontconfig and PATH.
• User paths honour XDG_*, CARGO_HOME, PIP_CACHE_DIR and npm_config_cache.

Also

• "Worth a look" is now Top savings.
• The review dialog wraps long commands.
• New tests/system/validate_ubuntu_rules.py checks every recommendation against the owning tools on a live system: 39/39 rules exact.
• 103 unit tests; black-box suite 178/178.
