# System Cache Cleanup

Clean temporary files and caches to free disk space: $ARGUMENTS

## Current Disk Usage

- **Disk space**: !`df -h / | tail -1`
- **npm cache**: !`du -sh ~/.npm 2>/dev/null || echo "Not found"`
- **Yarn cache**: !`du -sh ~/Library/Caches/Yarn 2>/dev/null || echo "Not found"`
- **Homebrew cache**: !`brew cleanup -n 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "Homebrew not installed"`

## Cleanup Options

Based on the arguments provided, execute the appropriate cleanup level:

### Option 1: Conservative Cleanup (default)

Safe cleanup of package manager caches that can be easily rebuilt:

```bash
# Record starting disk space
echo "Starting cleanup..."
df -h / | tail -1 | awk '{print "Before: " $4 " free"}'

# Clean npm cache
echo "Cleaning npm cache..."
npm cache clean --force

# Clean Homebrew
echo "Cleaning Homebrew..."
brew cleanup

# Clean Yarn cache
echo "Cleaning Yarn cache..."
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Yarn

# Show results
df -h / | tail -1 | awk '{print "After: " $4 " free"}'
```

### Option 2: Aggressive Cleanup (--aggressive flag)

Includes all conservative cleanup plus browser and development tool caches:

```bash
# Run conservative cleanup first (from Option 1)
npm cache clean --force
brew cleanup
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Yarn

# Clean browser caches
echo "Cleaning browser caches..."
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/Google
rm -rf ~/Library/Caches/com.operasoftware.Opera
