Submitting New Plugin Games Prefix Manager

[Saad-Alareqi]

Games Prefix Manager

This is a Decky Loader plugin converted from my standalone python script. It allows you to manage Proton prefixes (compatdata) for Steam and Non-Steam games, including finding and deleting orphan prefixes.

Features
List all Steam and Non-Steam game prefixes, and their sizes.
Identify orphan prefixes (folders in compatdata that don't belong to any installed game).
Batch delete prefixes.
Clean up all orphans in one click.
Option to backup prefixes before deletion (saved to ~/Documents/PrefixBackups).

Hey, thanks a lot for the submission. However, this overlaps quite a bit with Storage Cleaner. Have you considered implementing the missing functionality directly into that instead of creating a new plugin?

Well i don't think it overlaps with it. Mine from the ground up is more cleaner and organized and lists all the games that even still not run even once (no prefix folder). Also it has orphaned folders or games that already have been deleted already listing while storage cleaner doesn't have this as I'm aware of.

@Saad-Alareqi You don't need to close your PR because it hasn't been reviewed for a few days. These reviews take a bit of time on our end, and it may take anywhere from 2 to 3 days to get a response in most cases.

One question, though - could you consider making a PR to Storage Cleaner with your improvements? Having multiple plugins with the same purpose on the plugin store creates a poor user experience.
