cc

cc stands for clean config btw.

flag reference

-n / --dry-run preview without deleting anything
--dir <path> scan a different directory
-y skip the tui, delete all orphans immediately
--ignore <a,b,c> skip specific names
--version print version

install

go install codeberg.org/elisiei/cc@latest

or build from source:

git clone https://codeberg.org/elisiei/cc
cd cc
go build .

why

i'm pretty tired of having a bloated ass ~/.config dir with dirs i don't even use anymore.

how it works

cc scans ~/.config and flags entries whose name doesn't match any installed binary. on nixos it also checks /run/current-system/sw/bin and ~/.nix-profile/bin.

tip: launch with no flags for the interactive tui. navigate with arrows or j/k, toggle with space, confirm with enter.

config dir names don't always match binary names (e.g. gtk-3.0, pulse). always review before confirming, or use --ignore for known false positives.

note: this software mainly targets nixos machines, even though it should support other distros, i didn't test such behavior. if you encounter issues using other distros, please open an issue and i will help you asap. :D
