multiple .jxbrowser -* folders are eating my drive space

[Al-E-Bags]

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: 

 Does anyone else have any experience with this?  Better still, if there is a solution I would love to know what it is, hopefully before my drive gets chockers-full.   Thanks in advance.

It has been over a year now. Is there any new update regarding internal ticket?

Switching to CubeIDE 2.0.0 solved the issue, I believe this is because CubeMX has been decoupled from the IDE.
For my use case, CubeIDE 2.0.0 does not create any folder anymore in the username/.stm32cubeide repository.

Hello @MGogr.1 ,

This issue has been solved since STM32CubeMX 6.15.

Thanks.

Yes, CubeMX support has been removed from CubeIDE.

After updating CubeIDE to 2.0.0 and CubeMX to 6.16 (which involved manually starting CubeMX as Administrator twice),

the CudeIDE does not create any folders C:\Users\<username>\.stm32cubeide\.jxbrowser-*
However old folders were not removed by the update.

Also, I now have to watch the folders

C:\Users\<username>\.stm32cubemx\.jxbrowser*

I liked the version integrated into the IDE, I had quite an old CubeMX installed before, which I didn't use.

Now, back to CubeMX, after the update, the old folder

C:\Users\<username>\.stm32cubemx\.jxbrowser  (no version)

wasn't deleted and a new folder 

C:\Users\<username>\.stm32cubemx\.jxbrowser-8.11.0

was created. After the next CubeMX update or say chromium update, as I understand

somthing is now fixed and it won't fill your drive any more.
But I must say I only believe it when I see it after the next CubeMX update...
