TempCleaner v0.6.0

What's changed

• Added config-file support through TempCleaner.config.json and -ConfigPath.
• Added opt-in cleanup targets for DirectX shader cache, Delivery Optimization cache, and Windows Error Reporting queues/archives.
• Added safer non-admin behavior with user-only fallback and allowlisted cleanup roots.
• Fixed non-interactive preset handling so explicit CLI switches like -WhatIf and -DisableNotifications are preserved.
• Added Pester test coverage and a GitHub Actions workflow that runs the suite on pushes and pull requests.
• Clarified that Run-TempCleaner.bat is only a launcher; the cleanup engine is PowerShell-based.
• Added a README terminal preview and repository line-ending rules.

Verification

• Local Pester: 24 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped.
• GitHub Actions Pester run for 0353020: passed.
• Manual launcher dry-run verified WhatIf: true, UserOnly: true, and no deletion performed.

✨ Highlights

  • No more log file clashes or guessing what happened

• 📊 Progress + summaries

  • Live ASCII progress bars for each cleanup target
  • Color-coded summary at the end:
    • ✅ What was cleaned
    • ⚠️ Which files were locked
    • 📦 Estimated space freed

• 🖥️ Friendly UI touches

  • Cyan banner + guided mode selector for first-time use
  • Optional desktop notification when cleanup finishes
  • Safe thumbnail-cache cleanup: Explorer is only restarted when necessary

🧪 How to use

1. Download the release ZIP and extract it so TempCleaner.ps1 and Run-TempCleaner.bat stay together.

2. Launch via the BAT (Run-TempCleaner.bat). It uses PowerShell in bypass mode so you don’t have to change execution policies manually.

3. Pick your mode the first time (Basic/Full/Custom). TempCleaner stores your defaults for future runs.

4. Automate it, e.g. via Task Scheduler or another batch file:

   :: Safe dry-run
   Run-TempCleaner.bat -Silent -WhatIf
   
   :: Real cleanup
   Run-TempCleaner.bat -Silent
