Trust & Privacy
Powerful enough to read your raw disk. Careful enough never to hurt it.
Space Cowboy needs a clear view of your drive to do its job — so we built it to earn that access and never abuse it. Here’s exactly what that means.
It never phones home.
No internet connection, no accounts, no telemetry. Your file names, your folders, your drives — none of it is ever uploaded, tracked, or shared. What’s on your disk stays on your disk. (It’s a ~6 MB download, and that’s the whole story.)
It asks for power once, then gives it back.
The main app runs without administrator rights. The only piece that touches your raw disk is a small, isolated helper that runs solely during a scan — a single UAC prompt, and then it’s done. Nothing runs elevated in the background. Nothing lingers.
It won’t let you break Windows.
System locations are protected from deletion — not by good intentions, but enforced by the app itself. If a folder is load-bearing for Windows, Space Cowboy simply won’t remove it.
Mistakes are reversible.
Deletes go to the Recycle Bin by default, with a five-second window to back out before anything happens. You stay in control, every step.
No surprises, ever.
No bundled extras, no upsells mid-scan, no background processes. It does one thing — show you your disk and help you clean it — and nothing you didn’t ask for.
Round up wasted space with a tool that respects your machine as much as you do.
