Caches & disk space

Caches

Caches

Download and build caches your tools keep. They refill themselves when needed, so they're safe to clear.

Group Caches
JavaScript npm, Yarn, pnpm store, Bun
Python pip, uv, Poetry
AI / ML Hugging Face models & datasets, PyTorch hub, Ollama models (your local LLMs: remove one with ollama rm)
System tools Homebrew downloads and old versions
Go / Rust / JVM Go module and build caches, Cargo registry, Gradle, Maven
Apple Xcode DerivedData, iOS Simulator caches, old iOS device support, CocoaPods
Testing Playwright, Puppeteer and Cypress browsers, Electron downloads
Editors & browsers VS Code, Chrome, Firefox caches
Other the Trash, and every other app cache (~/Library/Caches, ~/.cache, %LOCALAPPDATA%\Temp)
  • ๐Ÿงน Clean runs the tool's own command (npm cache clean --force, pip cache purge, brew cleanup --prune=all, go clean -modcache, pnpm store prune, uv cache clean โ€ฆ) as a job with a log.
  • Open โ€บ jumps to that folder in Disk space, so you can delete just part of it.
  • Docker's own disk use (docker system df) is shown with the prune command.

Caches are measured when you open the tab (โŸณ Measure again to refresh).

Disk space

Disk space

Every folder with its size, biggest first, starting at your home folder. Click a folder to go inside, use the breadcrumbs to go back. Folder sizes come from your last scan where possible (instant); others are measured live.

  • ๐Ÿ“ฆ marks a project, cache marks a cache folder.
  • ๐Ÿ—‘ Delete asks you to type the name. By default it goes to the Trash; tick delete permanently to free the space right away (pre-ticked for caches).
  • Your home folder and its standard folders (Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Library, AppData, .ssh, .config โ€ฆ) are marked protected and can never be deleted from StackRadar.
