Development Environment Cleanup Script

This batch script is designed to clean up various cache, temporary, and unnecessary files from different tools and environments in a development machine. It helps free up disk space by targeting directories and caches from common technologies such as:

• VSCode: Clears workspace storage, cache, and local storage.
• Visual Studio: Removes temporary files and cache.
• npm/yarn: Cleans npm and yarn caches.
• Python: Removes pip cache and virtual environments.
• Go: Clears Go module cache.
• Rust: Cleans Cargo cache.
• Docker: Removes unused Docker resources (images, containers, volumes).
• General Cleanup: Cleans system temporary files, logs, and Windows update files.

The script logs all actions to a log file (cleanup_log.txt), allowing easy tracking of what was cleaned and any errors encountered.

Run this script periodically to help maintain a clean and efficient development environment.
