Description
I made this because most cleanup tools don't show what they're deleting. This one lets you browse everything first and exclude what you want to keep. deletes go to Trash by default.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a macOS CLI/TUI application written in a language like Go or Rust that scans standard cache/temp directories, prompts the user via a terminal UI, and moves files to the Trash.
