V1.34.0-windows

Mole for Windows

Deep clean and optimize your PC.

Changelog

1. Large folders get cleaned: Folders with tens of thousands of files, such as a big node_modules, are no longer skipped because checking them took too long, and mo clean and mo purge now work through them in a fraction of the time.
2. Uninstall leftovers are recoverable and rechecked: An app's leftover install folder goes to the Recycle Bin, only after every installed app has been checked again, so folders another app still uses stay, and the dry run now shows the same result as the real run.
3. Clean keeps what it cannot prove is disposable: If your exclusion list cannot be read, nothing is deleted, Spotify offline music stays, Teams cleanup touches only its cache folders, and Explorer's thumbnail and icon caches are left to Windows.
4. Dry runs match what happens: A dry run set through the environment is honored, and Adobe caches are counted once instead of twice.
5. Analyze deletes the item you chose: A slow scan can no longer replace the one on screen, keys pressed while a deletion is hidden are ignored, and a folder is checked for protected files inside it before it goes to the Recycle Bin.
6. Install and update work on more networks: Git now follows the Windows system proxy, the status and analyze tools download without the rate-limited GitHub API, a source install without Go finishes and creates the mo and mole commands, and a fresh install fetches only the Windows branch.
7. Lists line up: Uninstall and Purge lists align with Chinese and other wide characters, Store apps show readable sizes, and loading and result summaries read like the macOS version.
8. Proton Pass uninstalls: Mole uses the command Proton Pass registers for its normal uninstall, since its quiet one does not work.

更新日志

1. 大文件夹也能清理：包含几万个文件的文件夹，比如很大的 node_modules，不再因为检查太久被跳过，mo clean 和 mo purge 处理它们也快了很多。
2. 卸载残留可恢复且会再次核对：软件残留的安装目录会放进回收站，并且要在重新核对过所有已安装软件之后才处理，所以仍被别的软件使用的目录会保留，预演的结果也和真正执行一致。
3. 清理只动能确认可丢弃的内容：排除清单读不出来时一律不删，Spotify 的离线音乐会保留，Teams 只清理它的缓存目录，资源管理器的缩略图和图标缓存交给 Windows 自己管理。
4. 预演和实际一致：通过环境变量开启的预演也会生效，Adobe 缓存只统计一次，不再算两遍。
5. 分析删除的就是你选的那一项：缓慢的扫描不再顶掉屏幕上的那一次，删除界面隐藏时按键会被忽略，文件夹进入回收站前还会检查里面有没有受保护的文件。
6. 安装和更新在更多网络下可用：Git 会跟随 Windows 系统代理，状态和分析工具不再经过有频率限制的 GitHub API 下载，没装 Go 的源码安装也能完成并生成 mo 和 mole 命令，全新安装只拉取 Windows 分支。
7. 列表对得整齐：卸载和 Purge 的列表在中文等宽字符下能对齐，商店应用显示可读的大小，加载和结果汇总的样子与 macOS 版一致。
8. Proton Pass 可以卸载：Mole 改用 Proton Pass 登记的普通卸载命令，因为它的静默命令本身不可用。

Install

scoop install mole

Or with the script:

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tw93/Mole/windows/quick-install.ps1 | iex

Already installed? Run mo update, or scoop update mole for a Scoop install. The files below are what package managers and mo download; every script and executable is code-signed, and SHA256SUMS.txt lists their checksums.

Mole for Windows

If you would rather work in a window than a terminal, Mole for Windows covers cleaning, app removal and updates, startup items, disk analysis and live status, and shows everything before it deletes. The CLI stays free and open source.
