Delete Electron cache

Glitch Help
1

I had recently removed the electron dependency which I had accidentally installed one day, and my projects space was really high. I went to see what was using the space up so much and this is what I got:

I could see that the electron cache was taking a lot of space, and would like to know how to remove it.
Project name is: CMB

Hey @Callum-OKane it seems like you might want to make sure .cache is gitignored if its not, for one thing. Aside from that is there any reason you can’t just rm -rf .cache/electron in your project’s console?

Also when you’re digging into this kind of stuff I find du -hd1 useful because it sums disk usage to all the top-level directories from where you’re checking. So in this case you’d see that .cache was large and then you could run du -hd1 .cache to see what’s taking up the space in that folder. That saves you from having to sort through all the .git subdirectories, for instance.

My project seems to keep getting stuck on Fetching project again, and seems to happen very often now.
How can I stop this from happening a lot?
