Flatsweep is a simple tool that acts as a Flatpak leftover cleaner. When you uninstall a Flatpak, it can leave some files behind on your computer. Flatsweep helps you easily get rid of the residue left on your system by uninstalled Flatpaks.
Flatsweep exclusively looks at the default Flatpak install directory. If you have set a custom install path, it might accidentally delete files that weren’t supposed to be deleted.
Flatsweep uses GTK4 and Libadwaita to provide a coherent user interface that integrates with the GNOME desktop environment, but it works with any desktop environment.
This is free and open source software.
