Safety

Nothing moves until you choose.

Expunge gives you a review step with clear paths and cautious defaults.

• Selected items move to macOS Trash, not permanent delete.
• The app previews related files before removal.
• The CLI uses a dry run unless you confirm a purge.
• Protected system apps cannot be removed.
• Restricted Apple software needs an extra confirmation.
• Scan data stays on your Mac. There is no cloud sync.

Full Disk Access

macOS may restrict access to some folders. Full Disk Access can improve scan coverage in protected locations. Without it, results are best effort and some related files may not appear.

Expunge does not permanently delete files. Check the listed paths and deselect anything you want to keep before you continue.
