BUILT FOR SAFETY

Powerful cleaning.
Zero guesswork.

vazr is designed to be safe by default. You're always in control of what gets deleted.

Review before delete

Browse files and sizes. Approve categories you want to clean.

Smart protections

System files and critical directories are never touched.

Easy restore

Archive mode lets you restore if you change your mind.

Ignore rules

Exclude paths and patterns with .vazrignore or --ignore.

Minimal permissions

No root access required for standard cleaning operations.

Transparency

Open source. Clear code. No analytics. No surprises.

Cross-platform

macOS, Linux, Windows. Same experience everywhere.

PERFORMANCE (EXAMPLE RESULTS)
