A lightweight extension that helps you manage disk space by cleaning up node_modules and venv folders.
How It Works
This extension provides a command to clean up heavy dependency folders from your workspace or does it automatically as you close your vscode window.
Finds Targets: It searches for node_modules and venv folders in your open workspace as you close the vscode window.
Creates Restore Script: Before deleting a folder, it creates a auto_cleaner_restore.bat script in the same directory. This script contains the command to restore the dependencies (e.g., npm install).
Deletes Folders: It then deletes the target folder to free up space.
Restores: Reinstalls packages or recreates virtual environment as per the batch file as you reopen the project file.
OR
Manual Cleanup: Use the command palette to run the cleanup process at any time.
Installation

Commands

Happy coding! Your disk is cleaner, and your projects are tidier.
