Bazel-Disk-Cache-Cleaner

What is this project for? Bazel users on local executors. Bazel eats up disk space and this script is intended to clean your disk space but only files that haven't been accesssed in a while via access time.

How to use

  • Leverage the shell script wrapper bazel_disk_cache_cleaner/bazel_disk_cache_cleaner.sh to clean your bazel cache! Replace <path-to-bazel-cache-directory> with the path to your Bazel cache directory and <number-of-days> with the number of days after which you want to delete files.

  • Copy paste the example_disk_cache_cleaner.sh into your directory

  • Integrate the source code into your WORKSPACE (see releases for details)

Flags

  • --bazel-cache-dir: Path to the Bazel cache directory to clear.
  • --keep-files-access-days: Purge files with access time greater than the specified number of days.

Commands

  • clean: Cleans the Bazel cache.

Functionality

This CLI iterates through the entire BAZEL_CACHE_DIR env variable set and deletes all files older than KEEP_FILES_ACCESSED_DAYS
