rasa 0.2.5

A plugin-based disk space cleaner for developers
rasa-0.2.5 is not a library.

Rasa scans your filesystem for build artifacts, caches, logs, and other space hogs left behind by development tools — then lets you interactively pick what to delete.

Highlights

  • 50 plugins — languages, package managers, IDEs, browsers, system caches
  • Interactive TUI — browse, sort by size, toggle unsafe items, filter by plugin
  • Fast — parallel filesystem walk with SQLite cache for instant re-runs
  • Safe by default — every target is labelled recoverable or unsafe
  • Configurable — CLI flags or ~/.rasa/config.toml

Installation

cargo install rasa

git clone https://github.com/hpouillot/rasa.git
cd rasa
cargo install --path .

Quick start

# Scan home directory with defaults
rasa

# Only Node and Cargo artifacts, 500 MB minimum
rasa --only node,cargo --min-size 500MB

# Scan a specific directory, skip Docker
rasa ~/Code --skip docker

CLI reference

rasa [OPTIONS] [PATHS]...
Flag Description Default
-m, --min-size <SIZE> Minimum target size to report 100MB
-d, --max-depth <N> Maximum directory depth to scan 8
--only <PLUGINS> Only run these plugins (comma-separated)
--skip <PLUGINS> Skip these plugins (comma-separated)
--exclude <PATHS> Exclude paths from scanning (comma-separated)
--no-global Skip global targets, only scan project directories
--rescan Ignore cache and force a full rescan

TUI controls

Key Action
j / k / ↑ / ↓ Navigate
Space Toggle selection
Enter Confirm and delete
s Cycle sort order
u Show / hide unsafe targets
e Show / hide explanations
q / Esc Quit

Configuration

Create ~/.rasa/config.toml to set persistent defaults:

min_size = "200MB"
max_depth = 6
skip = ["docker", "downloads"]
exclude = ["/mnt/external"]
no_global = true

CLI flags always take precedence.
