    Hello fellow Unity devs,

    I'm sure you, like me, have hundreds of Unity projects on your hard drive. But how many of them are you actually working with at the moment?

    I made a tool called Kondo to help me clean up my old Unity projects, saving space on my hard drive. I was constantly getting "Windows is low on disk space" messages.

    Kondo will scan your drive, find all your Unity projects, and allow you to clean them. By cleaning them it will delete the unneeded directories that Unity builds. These are things like cache, logs, builds, etc. Doing this can easily half the disk space required to store projects, and next time you open Unity all that stuff will just be rebuilt no worries!

    You can find the source code here: https://github.com/tbillington/kondo
    And download the exe here: https://github.com/tbillington/kondo/releases (look for "kondo-ui")

    I make no money, this is an open source project! Any bug reports, feedback, and contributors are welcome! Enjoy!

    Sounds interesting. I'm gonna try run it on Wine in Linux, wish me luck :)

    This home folder was merged from a macOS to Linux (and linux got a lot of re-installs) this is why it has the baddest detritous maximus:
    /home/tom/.var/app/com.unity.UnityHub 19/.3 GB
    /home/tom/.config/unity3d 9.3 GB
    /home/tom/.config/UnityHub 65.3 MB
    /home/tom/Unity 12.8 GB project + editor 2020.3.0f1
    /home/tom/.local/share/unity3d 601 MB (asset store stuff?)

    Early on they didn't have a standard place to install the main Unity app binary I got too many copies. Hope that is useful.
