Explaination

The tool will scan root-directory for restore results of NuGet, typically project.assets.json files under obj output of projects. Successfully restored packages are considered in use. dotnet-tools.json are also collected for local dotnet tools. Global dotnet tools are stored in a separated location with all dependencies and won't be affected.

The tool supports multiple root-directory to search for build outputs and one global-packages to clean up.
