You collected gigabytes of useless trash on your PC/VPS/VDS
Over roughly the last six months, the AI industry made a lot of big jumps. Tools changed, models changed, approaches changed. The last one changed 180 degrees.
Old personal orchestrations and first skills across three agents turned into a cleaner structure. The term harness, ready tools, agents with personality, all that stuff.
And then I opened my old files.
Dozens of projects. A hundred GB. uv/pip and Docker containers leaving cache everywhere. I had 40 GB of trash there.
Then local models: 4, 8 and 28 GB each. WebUI, OpenUI, Comfy. Pinokio cache after local TTS installs. Another ~40 GB of outdated files that had not been launched for 3 months.
But GBs are not the worst part. The flow was outdated too.
Dead skills, scripts, memory files and old paths inside instructions. Old orchestration plugin I dont use anymore because GSD, gstack and different paperclip things exist now.
The biggest pain is stale context.
Duplicate folders inside the LLM-wiki because an agent went insane and created video/research notes in random places. Three different skills for one task because Claude misunderstood me and created a new skill instead of updating the old one.
I cleaned it step by step, rewrote the useful parts into the LLM wiki and deleted the rest to zero. Ran agents in loops on tasks and self-diagnostics just to see the final flow.
This is exactly why Hermes is nice. It understands its own skill mess, updates things on the fly and creates fresh stuff only when it actually needs to.
Here is the prompt to fix this:
ROLE
Disk audit diagnostic agent. INSPECT and WRITE A REPORT, do not clean.
IRON RULE
Do not delete/move/rename anything. READ-ONLY only: du, df, ls, find, stat, docker system df.
NO cleanup commands: rm, docker prune, uv/pip cache clean, git gc.
If doubtful – flag it in the report, do not act.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
1. Caches: uv, pip, npm, Docker orphans, build cache, dangling volumes, stopped containers, Pinokio.
2. Models/ML: weights .safetensors/.ckpt/.gguf/.bin, ComfyUI/WebUI/OpenWebUI models/output/venv, old untouched files.
3. Dead projects: unchanged 90 days; node_modules, .venv, build/dist, __pycache__, dumps.
4. Duplicates: folders/files by name and content, copies of models/datasets.
5. Outdated context MOST IMPORTANT: unused or duplicate skills, dead memory files, outdated instruction paths, obsolete plugins.

Recommendation means command for the user, not an action.
Verify usage, dont guess. If you cant verify, write “could not verify”.
