Sweep is a native GTK4/libadwaita disk-usage analyzer for GNOME-based Linux desktops. It scans any folder you choose and breaks the result down by images, videos, audio, documents, archives, code & config, apps & packages, fonts, and data/model files; finds developer/project caches (node_modules, Python virtualenvs, build folders, and npm, yarn, pnpm, Gradle, Maven and Composer caches, among others) that tooling can safely recreate; finds duplicate files by content (verified with a SHA-256 hash, not just name or size); and highlights large files you have not touched in a while.
Nothing is deleted until you explicitly choose to, and deletion goes to the desktop Trash by default (permanent delete is opt-in). A hard, code-level safety policy additionally refuses to delete browser profile and cache data — Google Chrome, Chromium, Firefox, Brave, Microsoft Edge, Vivaldi, Opera/Opera GX and Electron-based apps — a fixed set of critical system directories, and any path you mark excluded yourself. This check runs inside the single delete function every button in the app calls, including permanent delete, so there is no code path that bypasses it.

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 Sweep, simply use the following command:
sudo snap install sweep-dev-foxx
Browse and find snaps from the convenience of your desktop using the snap store snap.
