Developer Storage Cleanup for macOS

Standard disk utilities ignore the folders that actually consume engineer storage. DiskWarren targets Xcode DerivedData, dormant node_modules trees, Cargo debug targets, and Docker container caches.

Xcode Ecosystem

DerivedData, module caches, build logs, and simulator runtimes accumulate silently until compiling becomes sluggish. DiskWarren categorizes each project cache independently.

  • • ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/DerivedData
  • • ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/Archives
  • • ~/Library/Developer/CoreSimulator/Devices

Node & JavaScript Workspaces

Dormant client repositories and abandoned prototypes retain heavy node_modules folders. DiskWarren reveals orphaned dependency trees across your home directory.

  • • Dormant node_modules across ~/Projects
  • • Global npm and Yarn cache directories
  • • pnpm virtual stores and hard link maps
