Mac Disk Cleanup — Safe Audit & Free Up Space
Example session with this skill installed
My Mac is almost out of space. Can you find out what's taking it up and help me free some without breaking anything?
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the mac disk cleanup
Disk audit — nothing has been deleted yet
Internal disk (/System/Volumes/Data): 115 GB used · 91 GB free (56%).
I ignored the / line on purpose: on modern macOS it's the sealed system volume and always shows ~12 GB.
🟢 Regenerable — low risk (~5.3 GB)
| Item | Size | Command | What you lose |
|---|---|---|---|
| Docker images not used by any container | 4.0 GB | docker image prune -af | They're pulled again on next use |
| npm cache | 666 MB | npm cache clean --force | Packages re-download on next install |
| Homebrew old downloads | 247 MB | brew cleanup -s | Nothing |
| Homebrew orphan formulae (3) | — | brew autoremove | Nothing; they were only dependencies |
| pip cache | 155 MB | pip3 cache purge | Re-downloads |
| Chrome Service Worker cache | 125 MB | (Chrome closed) remove Default/Service Worker/CacheStorage | Web apps rebuild their cache |
| Next.js build cache in one project (has git + remote) | 84 MB | rm -rf <project>/.next | Rebuilt on next next build |
🟡 Your call
| Item | Size | Note |
|---|---|---|
| WhatsApp received media | 774 MB | Only Message/Media, app closed. Chats stay; old media may not be downloadable again |
com.docker.install in Application Support | 2.2 GB | No app matches this bundle ID, but Docker Desktop is installed — likely installer data. Verify before removing |
| Downloads | 52 items untouched for 6+ months | I can list them by size |
🔴 Do not touch
| Item | Size | Why |
|---|---|---|
Docker VM disk (Docker.raw) | 18 GB | Live disk of Docker's VM. Shrinks after pruning inside Docker, never by deleting the file |
| Claude Desktop VM image | 9.4 GB | Virtual machine in active use |
| Docker volumes (17) | 2.6 GB | All in use; no dangling volumes, so nothing to prune |
⚠️ Security, beyond disk space
Downloads and Documents contain 6 .env files, 5 private keys/certificates (.pem, .key, .pfx), 1 VPN profile and 1 SQL dump. I didn't touch them, but they're in an exposed place. Consider moving them to an encrypted folder or a password manager.
Next steps
Reply
"run the green group" and I'll execute each command one at a time, measuring free space with df before and after, and report the real gain (it may be lower than the sizes above because of APFS clones). Docker's disk file can take a few minutes to reflect the freed space; I'll measure again at the end.

About this skill
Your Mac says the disk is full, and every cleanup guide tells you to run docker system prune --volumes or wipe ~/Library blindly. This skill does it the safe way: it measures first, explains what each item is, and never deletes anything you haven't seen and approved.
How it works
- Audit (read-only). A bundled script discovers what is actually big on your Mac — no fixed list of apps. It covers home and Library folders, app data (flagging leftovers from uninstalled apps), package manager caches, old runtime versions, Xcode/Android SDKs, Docker and VMs, build artifacts across your projects, chat media, browser caches, large apps with last-used dates, old downloads and any file over 1 GB.
- Investigate. Unknown folders are identified before anything else: which app owns them, cache or real data, is the app running, is it even on this disk.
- Categorize. Findings are split into Regenerable, Your call and Do not touch, sorted by size, with what you lose next to what you gain.
- Confirm and execute. Each command is shown before it runs, using each tool's own cleanup command when one exists. Free space is measured before and after.
- Report. Real measured gains, what was kept and why, and what is pending.
Traps it knows about
- "Dangling" Docker volumes that are actually your development databases
- VM disk images (Docker, OrbStack, UTM, Parallels) that look like junk but are live disks
df -h /showing the wrong volume on modern macOS- APFS clones and offloaded iCloud files, where
dudoesn't match what's actually freed - Root-owned apps that break halfway with a plain
rm -rf - Projects without a git remote — it deletes build artifacts, never the project
- Chat apps that keep message history right next to their media
- Browser storage that is not cache (deleting it logs you out of everything)
Bonus: security findings
It flags private keys, certificates, VPN profiles, .env files and database dumps left in Downloads, Desktop or Documents — without touching them.
Requirements
macOS. Works with the stock bash; every developer tool is optional and detected automatically.
