.meteor/local cache

[ralof]

There’s a of stuff cache’d in the .meteor/local directory, plugin-cache and bundler-cache. Are they never cleaned? I noticed an old system, deployed many times, had 1.6GB in plugin-cache/less and the bundler-cache/linked was over 3GB… is that normal?

You can delete that folder and just run the project again .

Clean up your Meteor package cache!

As you may know, Meteor stores downloaded Atmosphere packages in a cache in your user directory (~/.meteor/packages). However, the longer you use Meteor, the more packages and package updates are downloaded and the larger this cache will get because Meteor doesn’t remove old or unused packages (yet). There is a request for this feature but until it’s implemented in the Meteor tool, you can use my meteor-cleaner npm package to remove unused packages and free up (a lot of) disk space! …

I was especially surprised to the years of CSS changes. I’ll try your tool - thanks!

Not really the cleanup I was hoping for…

meteor clean-package-cache --keep-final
› Analyzing packages...
Done Total size: 31.83 GiB
› 0 MiB of packages are about to be removed.
? Do you want to remove these packages? (yN) y

Hm, don’t know if --keep-final is broken, but just running it with no arguments, then restarting your meteor app, should clear out everything you’re not using.
