Delete node_modules, build and Pods folders from old projects

Find old projects and remove their rebuildable folders — node_modules, Pods, .venv, build, target, .gradle, .next — to free gigabytes. Your code stays.

Old Projects in CleanCache for Mac

How it works

Every project you cloned or started still carries its dependencies. CleanCache scans your projects folder, finds projects you haven't worked on for a while, and removes only the folders that a fresh install or build recreates.

Safe by design

Only known dependency/build folder names directly inside a project are deleted. Source files are never removed.

Common questions

Can I get node_modules back after deleting it?

Yes — run npm install (or yarn / pnpm) in the project and it's recreated from package.json.
