add option do clean all .angular folders

[augugusto]

This might be a configuration issue on our end. the angular frontend framework creates a .angular folder where i think stores a sort of cache for fast start up, which sounds great, but we have found them at around 10 GB each which is absolutely insane. I've even developed an in-house script to clear it, but it is really slow (10+ minutes, made in powershell checking all the folders under the user home) and i would prefer if it was already integrated into bleachbit anyway

while i'm here, i would like to +1 #134 since this is literally an issue we have, and also the other day there was a virus in an npm pakcage and i had to make my own script to erase all of those folders to make sure it didn't run

Put this CleanerML file in your BleachBit user profile cleaner directory. (To find the directory, click the link here and look for the section titled "Storage.")

Then, restart BleachBit to load the new cleaner.

I did not test this myself, and to be safe, please run a preview before deleting. Note: deep scan runs after all other options are finished.

<cleaner id="angular">
  <label translate="false">Angular</label>
  <description>Framework disk</description>
  <option id="dotfolder">
    <label>.angular folders</label>
    <description>Delete Angular cache folders</description>
    <warning>This option is slow.</warning>
    <action command="walk.top" search="deep" type="d" regex="^\.angular$"/>
  </option>
</cleaner>

Edit: I added type and changed command.

How does this work?

@augugusto
Have you had a chance to test ?

[augugusto]

Sorry! I forgot to reply. I couldn't get it to detect the cleaner. I tried everything.

OK, try this.

1. Download this file deepscan_angular_node.txt
2. Rename it deepscan.xml
3. Find the existing deepscan.xml on your system. (Let me know if you need some tips on finding it.)
4. Replace it with the new file
5. Restart BleachBit
6. In the deepscan section at the top, enable options for .angular and node_modules
