Your dev tools never clean up after themselves.

Sweep finds them in one scan. You choose what goes.

10.6 GB back. Your tools recreate what they need.

Figures from one real scan of one developer's PC. Yours will differ.

Preview

See everything before anything goes.

Every cleanup starts with the full list of what's inside, item by item, with sizes. Untick anything you want to keep. The button tells you exactly how much will be removed.

  • Only what you approve is removed
  • Warns you when the app that owns a cache is running
  • Anything that couldn't be removed can be reviewed and retried

Recovery

Know what comes back.

Each cache says how it recovers once removed, before you open it.

Rebuilds automatically

Your editor or Windows recreates it. Nothing to download.

Re-downloads when needed

Your next install or build fetches what it needs.

Large re-download

Models and similar files. These start unticked, so it's always your call.

Manage in its own app

Docker's disk and Ollama models are shown, never deleted.

Monitor

Watch your system live.

CPU and memory update every few seconds. Every drive shows how full it is, and says honestly whether cleaning up would help it.

  • The busiest processes, sortable and searchable
  • CPU shown as a share of the whole machine, like Task Manager
  • End Task always asks first, naming the exact process

Careful by design

An app that deletes files should earn your trust.

Nothing goes without a preview

You see every item and its size first. Removal starts only when you press Remove.

It tells you it's permanent

Removed files don't go to the Recycle Bin, and Sweep says so before you remove anything.

Windows stays protected

Critical Windows processes can't be ended from Sweep, and it won't end itself.

Recent files are left alone

Temporary files changed in the last day may belong to a running build, so they stay.

Runs entirely offline

Sweep makes no network calls. Your licence key is checked on your PC.

No account, no telemetry

Nothing to sign up for, and nothing about you or your files leaves the machine.

Light, dark, or match Windows.

A calm interface in both themes, with accessible contrast throughout.

Quick from the keyboard.

Every screen has a shortcut. Nothing destructive does.

Before you download

For Windows 11, 64-bit. It installs for your user account only, so it needs no administrator rights.

Sweep isn't code-signed yet, so Windows may show "Windows protected your PC" when you run the installer. Choose More info, then Run anyway. Code signing costs a few hundred dollars a year, and early sales will pay for it. Until then, every release publishes a checksum and a virus-scan report, so you can check exactly what you downloaded.

SHA-256
Published with each release
Virus scan
VirusTotal report
Check the file
Get-FileHash .\Sweep_1.0.0_x64-setup.exe -Algorithm SHA256 in PowerShell should print the same checksum.

Questions

What does Sweep remove?

Only caches from a fixed list of developer tools: npm, pnpm, Yarn, pip, uv, Cargo, Gradle, Hugging Face, editor caches and Windows temporary files. It never touches your projects, documents or anything outside your user folder.

Will removing caches break my builds?

No. Package managers re-download what they need and editors rebuild their caches. Your next install or build may take a little longer. Each cache is labelled with how it comes back, so you know before you remove it.

Why doesn't it use the Recycle Bin?

Caches are rebuilt, not restored, so the Recycle Bin would only hold the space you're trying to free. Because removal is permanent, Sweep always shows you the full list first and says so plainly.

Does it make my PC faster?

Sweep frees disk space and shows what's using your CPU and memory. It doesn't promise to "boost" or "speed up" your PC.

Does it need administrator rights or the internet?

Neither. It installs for your user account only and runs entirely offline.

Why does Windows warn me when I install it?

Sweep isn't code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen may show "Windows protected your PC". Choose More info, then Run anyway. The download notes give a checksum and a virus-scan report so you can check the file first.

Which Windows versions does it support?

Windows 11, 64-bit.
