## What it is
WindowsClear is a Rust-based Windows utility that scans AppData directories for large folders and migrates them to another drive, creating junction links so applications continue to work transparently. It helps free up space on the C drive without repartitioning or deleting system files.

## Use cases
- free up space on my full C drive
- clean up large AppData folders on Windows
- move app data from C drive to D drive without breaking apps
- shrink my Windows system drive without repartitioning
- find which programs are taking up the most disk space
- avoid reinstalling apps just to reclaim disk space

## When to choose
- your C drive is nearly full and AppData is the culprit
- you want a safe migration with rollback instead of manually deleting folders
- you prefer a GUI tool with progress display and pause/resume over manual mklink commands

## When to avoid
- you need to clean system files, temp files, or update caches rather than AppData
- you are not on Windows
- you cannot run programs with administrator privileges
- you need to migrate files that are locked by processes Restart Manager cannot close

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: active
- function: file-system, developer-tools
- domain: windows, files, developer-tools
