## FAQ
1. **Is Mole safe?** Mole focuses on cleaning caches and logs, without touching app settings, user documents, or system files. You can run `mole clean --dry-run` to preview what will be removed before actually cleaning.
2. **How often should I clean?** About once a month, or whenever you notice disk space running low.
3. **Can I protect specific caches?** Yes. Run `mole clean --whitelist` to interactively choose which caches to keep. Some common ones like Playwright browsers and HuggingFace models are already protected by default.
