/houseclean, Storage Audit and Cleanup

Use when disk space is low, AI tool caches are bloated, or worktrees need cleanup. Do NOT use for project structure issues (use /organize) or pre-merge worktree review (use /merge-review).

Orientation

Use when: cross-drive storage audit -- finds orphaned repos, stale branches, and large directories across all drives. Don't use when: auditing project infrastructure only (use /infra-audit); cleaning a specific directory (use Bash directly).

Protocol

Phase 1: Drive Survey

Windows (PowerShell):

Get-PSDrive -PSProvider FileSystem | Select-Object Name, Used, Free, Root | Format-Table -AutoSize

Present as a table with Drive, Total, Used, Free, Label columns.

Thresholds: C: free < 5 GB → CRITICAL. C: free < 20 GB → WARNING. Store which drives have free space, these are migration targets.

Phase 2: C Drive Hot Spots

Windows (PowerShell):

Get-ChildItem "C:\Users\$env:USERNAME" -Directory -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
  ForEach-Object {
    $s = (Get-ChildItem $_.FullName -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue |
          Measure-Object -Property Length -Sum).Sum
    [PSCustomObject]@{ GB = [math]::Round($s/1GB,2); Path = $_.Name }
  } | Sort-Object GB -Descending | Select-Object -First 15 | Format-Table -AutoSize
