Hi all. I have been witnessing a rapidly shrinking amount of free space on my C drive. On a regular drive clean up of non-essential data, I can generally remove 1 Gigabyte or so of temporary files. This however, does not account for the rapid depletion of available free space.
On further investigation, I looked into the 'Other' (Manage other large folders) section of the 'System -> Storage' properties of my Windows 11 C drive. I was a little gob-smacked to discover that - between them - the ST related folders: stm32cubeide, stm32cubemx, STM32Cube and ST contain over 100Gb of data.
Obviously allowing for software packs and the various STM applications in daily use, I found a considerable amount of data was held in several .jxbrowser folders across more than one location. For example, the .jxbrowser-7.38.2 folder inside the stm32cubemx directory - alone - is at a whopping 17.5Gb. I don't see any way of cleaning them or whether or not it is safe to do so but I read elsewhere (on other sites) that they should be left alone. The screen grab below indicates the total size of the multiple .jxbrowser folders in stm32cubeide:
