THIS IS NOT READY FOR PRIMETIME YET - ADJUSTMENTS NEED TO BE MADE TO COVER CHOCOLATEY PACKAGE VERSION NORMALIZATION
Choco Cleaner RT for .chocolatey Files deletes unnecessary Chocolatey package snapshot files from previous versions
Choco Cleaner RT (runtime/realtime - you choose) hooks are the natural evolution of my Choco-Cleaner script using hooks available in Chocolatey v1.2.0+. These hooks do micro cleansing by duplicating the features of Choco Cleaner before and after package installs, thus RT. No scheduling. No manually running anything. No need to edit a config file. Just install the choco-cleaner-rt-XXX.hook(s) you want. Choco Cleaner RT hooks run WHEN you install and update packages.
NOTES:
- Recovered disk space will not be as dramatic as when running Choco-Cleaner since Choco-Cleaner-RT will be running far more often and you'll see smaller results on a per package basis.
- Some Choco-Cleaner-RT micro cleansing happens on previously installed packages instead of the current one due to technical restrictions; i.e. choco-cleaner-rt-ignores.hook can not delete .ignore files from the current package or Chocolatey will make shims for everything the packager didn't want shimmed.
- File deletion logging and toggling the displayed info off are possible via a config, see choco-cleaner-rt for more info.
- A few features of Choco-Cleaner are not going to be supported by CCRT such as orphaned shim checking and deleting of Chocolatey .log and .old files; if you want these features please use Choco-Cleaner.

- choco-cleaner-rt - installs the most desirable hooks as dependencies and the optional config file

In cases where actual malware is found, the packages are subject to removal. Software sometimes has false positives. Moderators do not necessarily validate the safety of the underlying software, only that a package retrieves software from the official distribution point and/or validate embedded software against official distribution point (where distribution rights allow redistribution).
Chocolatey Pro provides runtime protection from possible malware.
