Hey! I just want to share a recent project that I've been working on for the past 3 months. The idea came to me when my storage always got filled due to low disk partition. I used apt clean and df -h to check how much storage was cleaned, and all this was good until you're not a beginner or just installed Ubuntu. In my case, when I was a beginner, I didn't know about these tools, so I thought to make a project related to cleaning waste in your system.
Earlier, tools like apt clean and bleachbit are good at cleaning chunks of waste data, but the issue was they don't provide a UI interface or make it interactive for beginners to see what data might be cleaned and choose what else to clean.
Finding this limitation, I built "Ubuntu Cache Cleaner v1.0", which is currently in development. It provides an interactive TUI through Rich that scans waste junk from your system that's taking up space. It gives you the option to delete apt files, temp files, trash, browser cache, and more, along with 2-3 modes like "safe clean" and "deep clean" that clean system waste files.
I also made it in safe mode, making sure that your important data doesn't get wiped off. I also implemented auto-detection that will automatically tell you where data is concentrated. For example, if some files are restricted and not allowed by my software to be cleaned, it shows that this is where the data is accumulating—you can manually clean it.
Important: This is an open-source prototype that I'm still developing. I assure you that 600 MB–1 GB of cache files that fill the space will be cleaned. If you fail to understand after reading this, kindly visit the GitHub and also this is 70-30 ratio done Ai and by me.
