I need to free up some space by getting rid of some projects.
First issue I have is that it’s impossible (as far as I can tell) to see how big a project is unless you click on it and go to the overview, which makes tracking down the biggest projects a real pain.
But I finally found a huge project (around 19GB), so I figured I could download it and then delete it. So I downloaded it, but the file that downloaded is about 600MB. So what’s going on here? Is the project being mis-reported as being 19GB, or am I not actually able to download the whole thing?
Hi @steve_wk,
Likely what is happening is that the 19GB’s you’re seeing for the project’s size is the entire git tree (all checkpoints) plus any builds you have published to Playcanvas. When you export the project, what you’re actually exporting is the current state of the project’s main branch.
Deleting unused builds is an option for reducing space, as is exporting the current state, deleting the project, and then reimporting it, which will leave you with a clean tree starting from your export point.
I hope this is helpful.
