r/rust — Draxbyte: a local-first disk cleaner in Rust + egui (single ~16 MB exe, never deletes without approval) by u/fatihkunakremoved

Earliest author promotion found; removed by r/rust mods. Comment thread is where the author's dismissive non-denial of AI authorship lives.

I built a disk scanner/cleaner after a manual cleanup missed 3.3 GB of Android build output (revoke/android/app/build). — Intro cliche
Protected system paths, secret keys, locked files and anything modified in the last 24 h are never touched, and every item is re-checked right before removal. — Trust signal
moves things to the Recycle Bin instead of deleting — Trust signal
eframe/egui 0.37 GUI, plus a CLI (draxbyte scan, draxbyte clean is dry-run by default) — Tech bingo
Rule engine needs no AI; optional AI layer (14 providers, incl. Ollama/LM Studio) is off by default, cached, with a daily token limit — Virtue
Feedback on the safety model especially welcome. — Engagement hook
