Agent Plugin
Hermes Disk Cleanup
Tracks temporary Hermes outputs and offers guarded cleanup without touching sessions, memories, skills, or configuration.
What is Hermes Disk Cleanup?
Disk Cleanup is a bundled Hermes Agent maintenance plugin for artifacts created during tests, tool calls, cron jobs, and temporary work. It records candidate paths as the agent works, exposes status and dry-run commands, and applies explicit safety rules before deletion. Sensitive Hermes state is excluded, and unusually large paths are never removed automatically, making the plugin useful for long-running local agents without turning cleanup into a blind recursive delete.
Key capabilities
Guarded deletion
Restricts cleanup to approved temporary locations and excludes core Hermes state.

Large-file protection
Refuses automatic deletion for paths over the configured safety threshold.
