DFCacheDelete 🦆

DFCacheDelete is a modern, high-performance C++ utility designed to find and delete cache folders recursively on Windows. It features a clean, dark-themed UI and ensures safety with explicit deletion handling.

Features

• Recursive Scanning: Efficiently finds all folders named "cache" (case-insensitive).
• Smart Filtering: Configurable minimum size (default: 50 MB) to ignore small, insignificant folders.
• Favorites System: Star your frequently accessed cache locations to keep them pinned.
• Dark Mode: A beautiful, custom-styled Qt user interface.
• Safety First: No automatic deletions. You select what to delete, and every action is confirmed.
• Symlink Protection: Automatically ignores symbolic links to prevent accidental system damage.
