DiskSage: a local AI that explains what is safe to delete on a Windows laptop
Description and use
DiskSage is a local Windows app that scans the PC, uses Gemma 4 to explain findings, and enables safe cleanup of 25.4 GB of junk.
Problem
Users accumulate junk files in downloads, caches, and developer folders, but lack a reliable way to identify what can be safely removed.
Outcome
DiskSage identified 25.4 GB of safe-to-clean space, including large unpacked installers and developer caches, and provided clear explanations for each item.
Workflow
- Scan the file system
- Gemma 4 reviews each finding and provides verdicts and reasons
- Identify mystery folders and recommend actions
- Confirm cleanup selections
- Run official uninstaller for selected apps
- Ask questions about specific folders
Evidence
The first time I ran it on my own laptop, it found 25.4 GB that was safe to clean

It looks in the places we never check: Downloads, hidden caches, developer leftovers, AI leftovers, mystery folders
On my own laptop, the first scan took 5.5 seconds and found 25.4 GB that was safe to clean
