Download a new version

Get the latest build for any platform from the download section, or browse every version on GitHub Releases. Install it over the old one; your settings carry over.

It won't open

  • macOS says it can't verify the developer. The app isn't signed by Apple. Open it once, then go to System Settings → Privacy & Security and click Open Anyway. Or run xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/Gigaflush.app in Terminal.
  • macOS says the app is damaged. That's the same download flag; run the xattr command above.
  • Windows SmartScreen blocks the installer. Click More info, then Run anyway.
  • Linux: no tray icon. Install libayatana-appindicator3-1, and on GNOME the AppIndicator extension.

Bugs and feature requests

Please open an issue on GitHub with your OS version, Gigaflush version (shown at the bottom of the "How it works" sheet), and what you expected to happen.

Common questions

  • A folder I expected isn't listed. Gigaflush only lists folders that sit beside a project file, such as node_modules next to package.json. Also check that its type is enabled under Cleanup types.
  • A folder couldn't be removed. Stop dev servers, watchers, and IDE indexers that may hold files open, then try again.
  • Sizes don't match the space I got back. Sizes are logical file sizes; compression, clones, and hard links can make the real savings differ.
