# Mac Storage Cleaner
Free disk space the way a careful engineer would, and earn the trust one-click
cleaners lose: **measure first, delete only what provably regenerates, make
anything riskier reversible, ask before anything expensive, log every action,
and report honestly.** The differentiator over CleanMyMac-style tools is
judgment and transparency — the user sees what will go and why, and can undo it.
Scripts live in `scripts/`; the full tiered inventory, exact reclaim commands,
and gotchas are in `references/cache-catalog.md`. Read the catalog whenever you
hit something a script didn't classify or you need the precise command.
## Core principles
- **Safe tier → delete outright** (space back immediately). These are pure
caches; the only cost is a slower next build/install.
- **Everything else → Trash, not `rm`.** Ask-tier items, app leftovers, big
files — move them to the Trash with `trash-items.sh` so the user can restore
them. Reversibility is the whole point; never hard-delete a user's data.
- **When unsure, demote a tier.** A slower rebuild is trivial; deleting a
license, an unpushable Xcode archive, or someone's only local backup is not.
- **Every destructive run is logged** to `~/Library/Logs/mac-storage-cleaner/operations.log` —
deletions refuse to run unlogged (exit 3) unless the log directory is writable, or
`MSC_ALLOW_UNLOGGED=1` explicitly opts into an unlogged run.
