Kondo

Kondo is a tool dedicated to clearing obsolete files and folders from your storage, data that mainly comes from various programming and development projects. The utility can come in handy for developers who are working on multiple projects simultaneously and accumulated junk over time.

According to the developer, the tool works with a handful of projects, namely Cargo, Node, Unity, SBT, Haskell Stack, Maven, Unread Engine, Python and Jupyter Notebook. The app can be used as a console or as a graphic interface, for those using Cargo or homebrew. To install the interface version simply use cargo install kondo-ui in Cargo or brew install kondo via homebrew.

It is worth mentioning that the operation of the tool varies slightly depending on whether or not developers opted for the GUI. The version with interface entails launching the app, selecting a directory to be scanned and allowing the app some time to evaluate and clean directories as necessary. On the console version, users do not need to specify a specific folder, as it runs in the current directory. Nevertheless, developers can specify one or more paths to tell the application where to start the scan. Once the operation is done, the tool displays a window with all projects scanned and cleaned files.
