## FAQ
1. **Is Mole safe?** Mole focuses on cleaning caches and logs, without touching app settings, user documents, or system files. You can run `mo 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 `mo clean --whitelist` to interactively choose which caches to keep. Some common ones like Playwright browsers and HuggingFace models are already protected by default.
4. **Does Mole support Touch ID?** Mole elevates through `sudo`, so expect a password prompt unless your `sudo` already supports Touch ID.
## Support
- **Star this repo** if Mole helped you recover disk space
