dustoff – find and remove JS/TS build artifacts

dustoff is a command-line utility that helps developers reclaim disk space by locating and removing common build artifacts created by JavaScript and TypeScript projects. These artifacts such as dependency folders, caches, and build outputs can accumulate across many repositories and consume large amounts of storage.

dustoff scans directories for these artifacts and presents them in an interactive terminal interface where users can review and safely delete them.

This is free and open source software.
