Smart Cache Cleaner
Smart Cache Cleaner is a cross-platform Python utility for efficiently managing and cleaning cache and temporary files.
Features

Smart scanning of common cache and temp directories
Customizable file filtering by size and age
Secure deletion with file integrity checks
Memory-efficient batch processing
Detailed logging and verbose output options
Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
Interactive command-line interface with file-by-file decision making
Summary of files by extension before deletion

Installation
You can install Smart Cache Cleaner directly from PyPI:
pip install smart-cache-cleaner
Usage
After installation, you can run Smart Cache Cleaner from anywhere in your terminal:
smart-cache-cleaner [options]
Available options:

-d or --directory: Specify a custom directory to scan
-s or --min-size: Minimum file size to consider (in bytes)
-a or --max-age: Maximum file age to consider (in days, 0 for no limit)
-y or --yes: Skip confirmation for deletion
-v or --verbose: Increase output verbosity

Interactive Prompts
During the scanning process, you will be prompted for each file:

y: Yes, delete this file
n: No, skip this file
q: Quit the scanning process

You can use the -y option to skip these prompts and delete all matched files automatically.
Example:
smart-cache-cleaner -d /path/to/custom/directory -s 1000000 -a 30
This command would scan the specified directory, only considering files larger than 1 MB and not older than 30 days.
Safety Features
Smart Cache Cleaner includes several safety features to protect your system and data:

File hash verification before deletion to ensure file integrity
Symlink protection to prevent accidental deletion of linked files
Maximum directory depth limit to prevent infinite recursion
Memory usage monitoring to prevent excessive memory consumption
Batch processing to handle large directories efficiently
