Development tools quietly fill your disk. Android SDKs and emulators, Gradle and Maven caches, npm and Yarn packages, IDE caches for every version you have ever run, and a dependency folder in every project you have ever built.
This shows you all of it at once: which area is the worst, which single folders are the biggest, and — for every entry — whether removing it costs you nothing, a download, or something you cannot get back.
What it does:
▶ ONE-TIME SETUP
sudo snap connect jsdevcleaner:system-backup
Developer caches live in hidden folders — ~/.gradle, ~/.npm, ~/.cache — and a confined app cannot even see them until you allow it. This permission is read-only: it lets the app measure those folders, and it changes nothing by itself. No reboot, just restart the app.
Anything the sandbox will not let the app delete is collected in a list of its own, and one click opens it in your file manager — which runs outside the sandbox with full access.
Supported systems:
Also available as .deb, .rpm, Flatpak and AppImage at www.budbrain.de
▶ PLEASE NOTE
This app deletes permanently — there is no undo, and nothing is moved to the trash. Nothing is preselected: you tick every item yourself, each one is rated Safe, Caution or Risky, and a confirmation says so before anything goes. Please check your selection before you confirm, and keep a backup of anything you cannot recreate. The software is provided "as is", without warranty of any kind, and is used at your own risk.

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.
Snaps are discoverable and installable from the Snap Store, an app store with an audience of millions.
Snap can be installed from the command line on openSUSE Leap 15.x and Tumbleweed.
You need first add the snappy repository from the terminal. Choose the appropriate command depending on your installed openSUSE flavor.
Tumbleweed:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Tumbleweed snappy
Leap 15.x:
sudo zypper addrepo --refresh https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.6 snappy
If needed, Swap out openSUSE_Leap_15. for, openSUSE_Leap_16.0 if you’re using a different version of openSUSE.
With the repository added, import its GPG key:
sudo zypper --gpg-auto-import-keys refresh
Finally, upgrade the package cache to include the new snappy repository:
sudo zypper dup --from snappy
Snap can now be installed with the following:
sudo zypper install snapd
You then need to either reboot, logout/login or source /etc/profile to have /snap/bin added to PATH.
Additionally, enable and start both the snapd and the snapd.apparmor services with the following commands:
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd
sudo systemctl enable --now snapd.apparmor
To install jsDevCleaner, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install jsdevcleaner
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
