Find out what is taking up space, safely


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.
