A screenshot of a file manager preview window for my ~/.cache folder, which takes up 164.3 GiB and has 246,049 files and 15,126 folders. The folder was first created about 1.75 years ago with my system

    It’s yay, which took up ~160 GiB. It was storing previous versions of AUR binaries which I guess added up over time. I posted a screenshot of ncdu outputs for a more detailed breakdown in one of the other reply threads

      yay -Sc(c)
      

      Is probably a better command in this instance

      Honestly the reason I’ve put yay/paru’s build directory into ram/tmpfs long ago. It’s almost never worth it keeping all those packages checked out. You also do your ssd a favour by not hammering it with compile workloads.
