Analyze disk usage in the user's home directory. Focus on:
1. Large directories and files (use `du -sh` commands)
2. Find the biggest space consumers: node_modules, cache folders, .git directories, log files
3. Check ~/Downloads, ~/Library/Caches, and other common junk locations
4. Look for duplicate or backup files (.bak, .old, -copy, -backup patterns)

Return a summary with sizes of the largest items that could potentially be cleaned up.

Perfect! Now I have a comprehensive analysis. Let me compile the summary:

## Disk Usage Analysis Summary

Your home directory is using approximately **130GB** of space. Here's the breakdown of the largest space consumers:

### Top-Level Directories
| Directory | Size | Notes |
|-----------|------|-------|
| `/Users/neog/Library` | 120GB | Largest consumer - mostly caches |
| `/Users/neog/Apps` | 1.3GB | iOS & macOS apps |
| `/Users/neog/Music` | 613MB | Audio files |
| `/Users/neog/Pictures` | 584MB | Images |
| `/Users/neog/Projects` | 443MB | Development projects |
| `/Users/neog/Downloads` | 298MB | Downloaded files |

---

### Critical Cleanup Opportunities (Estimated 9-10GB recoverable)

#### 1. **NPM Cache** - 7.1GB (SAFE TO CLEAN)
- **Location:** `/Users/neog/.npm`
- **Safe Action:** Run `npm cache clean --force` (rebuilds automatically)
- **Recovery:** 7.1GB

#### 2. **Library Caches** - 2.5GB (PARTIALLY SAFE)
- **Breakdown:**
  - Google: 798MB
  - OpenAI Atlas: 535MB
  - pip: 300MB
  - SiriTTS: 261MB
  - Python: 161MB
  - Electron: 84MB
  - Other: 400MB+
- **Safe Actions:**
  - Remove pip cache: `pip cache purge` (~300MB)
  - Remove node-gyp: 64MB (rebuilds on next use)
  - Safe to clear: com.apple.e5rt, com.apple.Music, etc.
- **Recovery:** ~700MB safely

#### 3. **Log Files** - 82MB (SAFE TO DELETE)
- **Locations:**
  - `/Users/neog/log-server.out.log` - 35MB
  - `/Users/neog/https-server-error.log` - 16MB
  - `/Users/neog/alert-monitor.err.log` - 16MB
  - `/Users/neog/log-server.err.log` - 15MB
  - `/Users/neog/logs.db` - 81MB (SQLite database)
- **Notes:** These appear to be service logs; rotation/deletion is safe
- **Recovery:** 82MB

#### 4. **Downloads Folder** - 298MB (NEEDS REVIEW)
- **Breakdown:**
  - WhatsApp Chat exports: 242MB (126MB + 116MB duplicate zip)
  - Audio: 29MB
  - Documents/PDFs: ~20MB
  - JSON reports: ~6MB
  - Other files: ~5MB
- **Action:** Remove duplicate WhatsApp export and old zips
- **Recovery:** ~120MB

#### 5. **Obsidian Old Vault** - 107MB (SAFE IF NOT NEEDED)
- **Location:** `/Users/neog/Obsidian/vault-old`
- **Action:** Delete if you've migrated to `neog` vault
- **Recovery:** 107MB

#### 6. **Home Directory PDFs** - 25MB (QUICK WIN)
- **Files:**
  - Portuguese news articles: ~21MB (3 PDFs)
  - Various docs: ~4MB
- **Action:** Move to archive or delete if not needed
- **Recovery:** 25MB

#### 7. **Miscellaneous Cache Folders** - 139MB
- **Location:** `/Users/neog/.cache`
- **Action:** Most cache is safe to clear (rebuilds automatically)
- **Recovery:** 120MB+

---

### Moderate Cleanup (Secondary Priority)

#### 8. **Library Logs** - 57MB
- **Location:** `/Users/neog/Library/Logs`
- **Action:** Can be safely archived or deleted
- **Recovery:** 50MB

#### 9. **App Development Caches**
- **node-gyp cache:** 64MB
- **SwiftPM cache:** 62MB
- **Other build caches:** ~100MB+
- **Note:** These rebuild on next build, safe to delete
- **Recovery:** 226MB

---

### Storage Summary

**Immediate Action Items (1-2GB):**
1. npm cache: 7.1GB
2. Home log files: 82MB
3. Old Obsidian vault: 107MB
4. Home directory PDFs: 25MB
5. Downloads duplicates: 120MB

**Total Immediately Recoverable: ~7.4GB**

**Secondary Cleanup (500MB-1GB):**
- pip cache: 300MB
- Other app caches: 200MB
- Xcode build caches: Unknown (DerivedData not accessible)
- Library logs: 57MB

**Total Potentially Recoverable: ~7.9-9GB**

---

### No Major Issues Found
- No huge node_modules directories at top level (only 6.2MB found)
- No large .git directories (largest is 832KB)
- No suspicious backup/duplicate files (.bak files minimal)
- Archive folder appears empty (cleanup already done)
- Your Dec 2025 cleanup already helped significantly

Would you like me to help you set up automated cache cleaning scripts or provide specific commands for safe deletion?
