Node Modules Nuke

Because your disk space is finite, but dependency trees apparently aren't.

This is a simple Electron app that finds node_modules folders hiding in your system, tells you how much space they're wasting, and lets you delete them. You know, so you can have a clean slate before running npm install and filling it strictly back up again 10 minutes later.

Features

• Scan: Crawls your directories. It might take a while. Filesystems are big.
• Review: Sorts folders by size, so you can see which side project from 2019 is hoarding the most logic.
• Delete: Removes selected folders. Gone. Poof. Until you need them again.

How to use

1. Open the app.
2. Select a directory to scan.
3. Wait.
4. Select the folders you want to delete.
5. Click the button.

Development

If you really feel the need to build this yourself:

1. Clone the repo.
2. Run npm install. Yes, you have to download node_modules to build the tool that deletes node_modules.
3. Run npm start.

To build a release:

npm run build

This uses electron-builder, so it handles Mac, Windows, and Linux. Theoretically.
