## What it is
A discontinued Android utility that analyzed WeChat's internal storage usage and cleaned unnecessary cache and group message data while preserving important contact history. The project was removed in January 2026 after a Tencent DMCA takedown request on GitHub.

## Use cases
- free up storage space taken by WeChat on Android
- analyze what WeChat is storing on my phone
- clean WeChat cache files that won't delete
- remove old group message data while keeping important chats
- reduce WeChat's 17GB storage footprint

## When to choose
- you want to study how WeChat stores data on your device (historical/archived code only)
- you need a reference for WeChat storage analysis approaches

## When to avoid
- you want a working tool today - the code was deleted after a DMCA takedown
- you want a supported, legal solution - use WeChat's built-in storage management or the PC backup-and-restore method
- you are uncomfortable with tools that Tencent considers terms-of-service violations
