Storage

The third tool — reclaiming the disk that builds, caches and node_modules quietly took. Coming soon.

Status#

Not shipped yet

Storage is in development. It appears in the dock in previews and screenshots; this page describes what it will do, so you know whether to wait for it. Everything else in this help centre describes software that exists today.

What it will do#

Development leaves sediment. Storage will find it across every project on every drive — node_modules for repos you have not opened in a year, stale package caches, build output from branches that were merged and deleted — and let you clear it from the tray.

The plan is a per-drive picture of what is used, reclaimable space grouped into System, Developer and Browser, and a sweep you can run once you have looked at what is in it. Nothing is deleted without being shown to you first.
