The Pkg.gc() command
garbage collects packages and artifacts that are no longer reachable, but will
not touch existing packages or artifacts requested by existing active
environments, which are listed in your ~/.julia/logs directory. One option
for a more deep cleaning is to run ]gc --all, but this will
remove... well... all packages.
If you prefer a more controlled way to clean package installations in your Julia
depot, you can remove the undesired manifests lingering in ~/.julia/logs.
PkgCleanup.jl provides a couple of functions which let you interactively
remove active environments or artifacts you do not care about any longer but
cannot be removed by Pkg.gc().
To install the package, enter the Julia Pkg REPL mode with ] and run the
command
add https://github.com/giordano/PkgCleanup.jlTo load the package, run in the Julia REPL the command
using PkgCleanupPkgCleanup.jl provides the following interactive functions:
PkgCleanup.artifacts(): to remove unneededArtifacts.tomlfrom your~/.julia/logs/artifact_usage.toml;PkgCleanup.manifests(): to remove unneededManifest.tomlfrom your~/.julia/logs/manifest_usage.toml.
Yes, that's it.
