## 🎯 Overview

**Android Emulator Cleaner** helps Flutter and Android developers free up valuable disk space consumed by Android emulators without wiping user data. Say goodbye to repeatedly signing into Google accounts after cleaning!

### The Problem

Android emulators can quickly consume **10-50GB** of disk space through:
- Accumulated app caches
- Saved snapshots (Quick Boot)
- Temporary installation files
- Screenshots and downloads

### The Solution

This tool intelligently cleans temporary and cache files while preserving:
- ✅ Google account sign-in state
- ✅ Installed applications
- ✅ App data (except caches)
- ✅ System settings and preferences

## ✨ Features

- 🎨 **Beautiful Terminal UI** - Rich, colorful interface with progress bars and panels
- 📱 **Multi-Device Support** - Clean multiple emulators and physical devices simultaneously
- 🔧 **Selective Cleaning** - Choose exactly what to clean with risk indicators
- 💾 **AVD Management** - Clean snapshots and cache from stopped emulators
- 📦 **App Uninstallation** - Selectively uninstall apps across devices
- 📊 **Storage Monitoring** - See before/after storage statistics
- ⚡ **Zero Data Loss** - Preserves accounts, app data, and settings
- 🐍 **Cross-Platform** - Works on macOS, Linux, and Windows

## 🧹 What Gets Cleaned

### Running Devices (via ADB)

| Category | Path | Risk | Description |
|----------|------|------|-------------|
| 🗑️ App Caches | `/data/data/*/cache` | 🟢 Low | Cache files from all installed apps |
| 📁 Temp Files | `/data/local/tmp/*` | 🟢 Low | APKs and temp files from installations |
| 📥 Downloads | `/sdcard/Download/*` | 🟡 Medium | Downloaded files |
| 📸 Screenshots | `/sdcard/Pictures/Screenshots/*` | 🟡 Medium | Captured screenshots |
| 💾 SD Card Caches | `/sdcard/Android/data/*/cache/*` | 🟢 Low | External storage app caches |

### AVD Files (Local)

| Category | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| 📸 Snapshots | Quick Boot snapshots (usually the biggest space saver) |
| 🗑️ Cache Files | `cache.img` files from AVDs |
