Appdata/Roaming/Code/Service Worker/CacheStorage folder size is multiple GBs

[TryerGit]

Hello,

I use VSCode mostly only for its C++ extension. The folder C:\Users\TryerGit\AppData\Roaming\Code\Service Worker\CacheStorage is more than 10 GB in size. Can it be clarified if the contents of this folder are used by the C++ extension and whether these can be safely deleted? Is there a way to set it up so that it does not grow so big?

Thank you.

@TryerGit I'm not sure. Can you expand the CacheStorage folder and look for any ipch or .db files from our extension?

From what I can tell, our extension doesn't drop anything big to that folder by default, i.e. you should look into what files are using the storage.

Same problem here. Deleted anything 3 months ago. So far so good.

btw, what's the program are you using to show the proportion of different folder, it looks great :-)

That is WinDirStat.
