This article is just a stub. Help us grow by including more information that you think would be useful for the project, such as links to related projects and implementations, problems that might have been overlooked and solutions to the problems that have been pointed out. You can also help by organising the information in the page.

The aim of this project is to create a library to interact with a registry that keeps track of all files created in home directories by all programs. This would allow users to easily know what files can be safely removed because the programs that created them are no longer installed in the system.

If you have any ideas for this project, please share them with us and help everyone find the solution to this problem.
