After installing several AI development tools on a Mac, there’s one more thing to manage beyond projects: the data they leave behind on the computer.
Mole, developed by Tw93, is a Mac cleanup and management tool. It combines features for cleaning up files, uninstalling apps, analyzing disk usage, and checking system status, making it easier to see what’s taking up space.
The latest version, 1.16, adds an AI cleanup page covering tools such as Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor.
In addition to caches and older versions, it can handle expired sessions and code working directories for completed tasks. For people who regularly try different tools and work on multiple projects at once, this data can easily accumulate on their computers and go unnoticed until they start running out of space.
But a “completed task” doesn’t mean that everything related to it can be deleted. Past sessions or code may still need to be revisited later. Mole lists them all in one place, but users still need to decide what they no longer need.
According to the developers, Mole keeps recovery copies before cleaning and avoids data that is currently in use. This article introduces the features; the cleanup results have not been tested, and there are no actual figures available for comparison of the amount of space freed.
