VsCacheCleaner

Clear the Visual Studio solution cache, free up your disk space!

🌎 English | 🌏 简体中文

📃 Description

Visual Studio solution cache folder .vs is required by Visual Studio to store opened documents, breakpoints, and other information about state of the solution.

Usually they can be safely deleted.

If you don't delete these caches manually on a regular basis, they will keep eating up the free space of your disk, making the disk space bar turn red. 🦖

And now you have this!
