    Hello,
    I'm using small SSD on my laptop so every byte is precious for me. Package Manager stores cached files on AppData folder which must be on disc C, because Windows. Today I looked at this folder and found a lot of old packages, which weight like 2 GB.

    It would be great to have some way to delete this without manually searching through folders, like button in Package Manager Window or Unity Hub. Option to delete only old packages would be great too.

    Hi @Coed

    This is something we have on our roadmap. There are three options that we would like to provide:

    1) A user interface to flush the Package Manager cache.
    2) A configuration option (in the Hub) to change the default Package Manager cache location.
    3) A configurable TTL (time-to-live) for package cache that hasn't been touched for a while.

    Hopefully, we will manage to implement these features in the coming months.

    Regards,

    Pascal
