#### User Cache Cleaner - Folder Junk, Temp Cache and Activity Trace Cleaner

User Cache Cleaner audits and removes temporary files, build/bytecode caches,
broken symlinks, and user activity traces on Linux. A lightweight Linux
alternative to CleanAfterMe for cleaning workspace junk and inspecting profile
activity caches safely without background daemons.

Features:

* Folder & Workspace Junk Scanner: Scans any selected directory (default: your
  real home folder) for bytecode/tool caches (**pycache**, .pytest\_cache,
  .mypy\_cache, .ruff\_cache), temporary/backup files (.pyc, .tmp, .bak, .old,
  .swp, \*~), OS metadata artifacts, and broken symlinks with exact byte sizes.
* Optional 1-Pass Zero Overwrite: Overwrite regular junk files with zeros and
  fsync before unlinking, or perform fast standard deletion with confirmation.
* Profile Caches & Activity Traces Audit: Inspects real sizes and file counts
  of XDG ~/.cache subdirectories, thumbnails, Freedesktop Trash, GTK recent
  files, and shell/REPL histories, plus one-click system clipboard clearing
  and exportable host shell cleanup scripts for strict-sandbox dot-paths.
* Session Cleanup Audit Log: Tracks every cleanup operation with freed bytes
  and exports CSV reports.
