I changed the cargo home/cache directory so it’s easier to clean up. The disk space pollution of Rust is insane.
I did a small project project that resulted in an 8 MB executable. And had dozens of gigabytes to clean up.
Even more confusing was how closing VS Code lead to 11 GBs being freed. I initially had three or four projects open for reference in APIs and API usage. But my primary partition ran full quickly. In the end I used Rover and minimized IDE usage to two instances. And after my work, removed target and cargo build data again so I actually have space to work with on my primary partition.

I used to compile zed since there was no Linux binary back then, then I discovered the disk use was 90 GB :|
@Tenkard @Kissaki only ? That’s a bargain 😬
