Space Crew Utility

Space Crew Utility is a vibrant, vaporwave-inspired system cleaner built with Electron.  

It launches a real-time galactic overlay featuring an animated crew while safely cleaning system and browser caches (for full code, please visit the repository - https://gitlab.com/dobybaxter127/space-crew-utility).  

🪐 The overlay displays live progress, glowing status logs, and charming feedback from the crew as the cleanup unfolds.  

It’s more than a utility - it’s a ritual for system clarity ✨.

🧼 How It Works

The app runs several cleanup steps in sequence:

| Step | Description | Command |

|------|--------------|----------|

| 🌀 1 | Clean system temporary files | `del /s /q /f "%temp%\*.*"` |

| 🔧 2 | Stop Windows Update services | `net stop wuauserv && net stop bits` |

| 🧹 3 | Clear update cache | `rd /s /q "%windir%\SoftwareDistribution"` |

| ♻️ 4 | Restart update services | `net start wuauserv && net start bits` |

| 🌐 5 | Clean Edge & Chrome caches | `del /s /q /f "%LocalAppData%\...\Cache\*.*"` |

Each step reports progress to the overlay and logs results in real time.
