Current release: DiskTidy 0.2.0. This is a native Windows executable built with the Windows .NET Framework toolchain, so Python is not required.
Requirements
- Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- .NET Framework 4.x, included on most Windows systems.
- No administrator permission is required for user temp cleanup. Some Windows Temp files may be skipped without admin rights.
- The first build is unsigned, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning until the app is code-signed later.
