Why does it occupy so much storage space

Can I delete it directly

Thanks for reaching out. This will need some investigation, so we'll get back to this issue when we know more.

Hi @holidaypenguin -- can you try looking for a command in the Command Palette called "Clear source maps cache"? (I'm not sure what the translation would look like).

DevTools caches loaded source maps for about 30 days. It should not be unbounded growth, however -- total web storage is supposed to be limited to ~50% of available disk space, and 15% of the total budget per web origin, if I recall correctly.

We just checked in a change that will do two things:

• Fixed a bug that the eviction wasn't happening as expected. (really, at all).
• Avoided caching source maps originating from localhost

This will be present in a forthcoming version of Edge Canary and will eventually propagate up to Stable in version 106. Once it's baked for a few days, we'll consider backporting it to Edge 104 and 105.
