Caches and Disk Space

Caches & disk space

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)

• 🧹 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 …) as a job with a log.
• Open › 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 (⟳ Measure again to refresh).

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.

• 📦 marks a project, cache marks a cache folder.
• 🗑 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 …) are marked protected and can never be deleted from StackRadar.
