Remove component in GitHub runner

THIS IS ONLY TESTED ON GITHUB-HOSTED UBUNTU-22.04 RUNNER AND CAN RUN ONLY ON GITHUB-HOSTED UNBUNTU RUNNER. PLEASE DON'T RUN ON WINDOWS OR MACOS OR SELF-HOSTED. IF YOU RUN ON SELF-HOSTED ALTHOUGH YOU HAD BEEN WARNED, I DON'T TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY ABOUT YOUR LOST DATA

Why I made this?

Ughh!!!Default GitHub ubuntu runner have 73GB, but they installed too much thing i unused, The space only have 14GB¹. So I read how image created ² and wrote a script to remove what I don't need, and It works better than I expected :)

Before remove everything	After removed everything (~6 mins)
Too little space	Like a new installed ubuntu machine

So, How to use?

1. First paste this to your job's step:

   steps:
     - name: Remove unused components
       uses: ngocptblaplafla/more-space-plz@v1
       with:

   for better experiments, put it first
2. Add components you want to remove like this

     - name: Remove unused components
       uses: ngocptblaplafla/more-space-plz@v1
       with:
         android-sdk: true 

3. Now you can run workflows

So don't ask me why there is no option for remove all things.
