How it works

Point it at your workspace

Run irona /your/workspace — irona walks the directory tree and finds every build artifact directory it knows about. No config, no manifest. It just works.

Review the interactive checklist

A Ratatui TUI opens showing every artifact directory with its on-disk size. Navigate with ↑ ↓, toggle entries with Space. Nothing is touched until you say so.

▶ [✓] ~/projects/my-app/target 4.2 GB

[✓] ~/projects/website/node_modules 812 MB

[ ] ~/projects/dotnet-api/bin 340 MB

[ ] ~/projects/dotnet-api/obj 98 MB

[✓] ~/projects/old-site/node_modules 1.1 GB

2 selected · 5.1 GB will be freed · [space] toggle [d] delete [q] quit

Press d to delete

irona removes every checked directory. Disk space reclaimed. Press q to quit. Build artifacts are regenerated by your toolchain whenever you need them again.
