 Currently the list of files/folders which I consider safe to delete is hard-coded in `can_be_deleted.rs`:
 
-*   `.DS_Store` stores some folder attributes used for showing the folder in the Finder, which I don't need to keep
-*   `__pycache__` is the bytecode cache in Python projects, which is pointless if the original Python files have been removed
-*   `.venv` is the name I use for virtual environments, which I can asily regenerate if necessary

+*  `.ipynb_checkpoints` is a folder used by Jupyter Notebooks, but not
+   important if I've deleted the notebooks
+*  `.jekyll-cache` is a cache directory used by Jekyll sites, but
+   can be easily regenerated and will be rebuilt regularly as part
+   of the Jekyll build process

+*  `Thumbs.db` is a file that contains thumbnails on Windows systems
 
 If you want to change that list, you need to modify the source code and compile a new version -- it's not a configurable setting.
