Reclaim disk space on macOS by auditing and clearing build artifacts, package-manager caches, stale git worktrees, and offloading large media to an external drive. Use whenever the user complains about low storage, a full disk, "out of space" errors, or asks to clean up, offload, or free up their machine — even if they don't name specific folders.

Reclaim disk space on macOS by auditing and clearing build artifacts, package-manager caches, stale git worktrees, and offloading large media to an external drive. Use whenever the user complains about low storage, a full disk, "out of space" errors, or asks to clean up, offload, or free up their machine — even if they don't name specific folders.
# Free Disk Space (macOS) Audit the disk, clear what's safely regenerable, and confirm before touching anything that isn't. ## Ground rules - Use `trash` (if the CLI is available) instead of `rm -rf`. Accumulate in Trash; ask the user to empty it once at the end. - Prefer a tool's own cleanup command over deleting its directories (`go clean -cache`, `brew cleanup --prune=all`, `pnpm store prune`, `npm cache clean --force`, `cargo clean`). - Measure with `df -h /System/Volumes/Data` (not plain `df /`). - **Do not clear GUI app data.** `~/Library/Caches/<App>` and `~/Library/Application Support/<App>` often hold logins, cookies, and history. Leave them alone unless the user names a specific app and accepts the risk. Prefer build cleanup, package-manager prune, stale worktrees, and external-drive offload instead. ## Workflow ### 1. Assess `df -h /System/Volumes/Data; ls /Volumes`. Note free space and whether an external drive is mounted. ### 2. Survey Targeted `du -sh ... | sort -hr` — not a full scan of `~`. Usual big ones: - **Build artifacts**: `target/` (every worktree too), `node_modules/`, Xcode DerivedData - **Package-manager caches**: go-build, Homebrew, pnpm/npm/pip stores — clean via CLI - **Large media**: CapCut, Screen Studio, Movies, Downloads - Report app caches / Application Support sizes only; don't auto-delete them ### 3. Clear safe tier without asking Build artifacts and package-manager / language-tool caches only. Everything else (app data, media, model weights, toolchains): summarize sizes and ask, or propose offload. ### 4. Audit git worktrees For each worktree: dirty? unique/unpushed commits? Clean + fully merged/pushed → `git worktree remove` and `git branch -d` (never `-D`). Keep and report anything dirty or ahead. ### 5. Offload keepers `rsync -a` → verify sizes → trash original → symlink old path. Symlink individual folders, not whole special dirs like `~/Movies`. Warn the app needs the drive mounted. ### 6. Wrap up What freed immediately, what's in Trash, what you left alone. Ask user to empty Trash and re-check `df`.
