MIT open-source Windows cleaner in Python (CLI) built as a learning project: finds orphaned AppData/ProgramData leftovers of uninstalled apps, large files, byte-identical duplicates; labels everything Safe to Clean / Check First / Skipped with plain-English explanations; everything goes to Recycle Bin, dry-run by default, quarantine folder fallback for disabled Recycle Bin (v0.4.0, added from thread feedback).
Mechanical checks derived from the fields above. Each row is one fact; "not yet checked" means exactly that, not a failure. There is no composite score; read them together.

I want brutal honesty, not stars — Engagement hook
Every real answer goes into the roadmap. — Engagement hook
