a flag per user dir or in general? Since you can uncheck "Run Janitor on Startup" in the options to truly not be asked again unless you run it manually :)

its probably better to turn it off if you use a setup with multiple user dirs for testing or other purposes (I have it off too).

a per user dir flag would be essentially an ignore list which needs to be exposed to the user somehow, e.g. via the options, so that it can be reset etc - since its an edge case and there is a workaround for us, I am not sure if its worth the trouble tbh.

Since I keep two user dirs and cache dirs on purpose (because projects that
use jigsaw that depend on libraries that use Automatic-Module-Name on their

Hey Laszlo, did any updates around the orphaned "cache" get made?  I see
it showing up again in NB 16 so assume note.

Should I create an issue on this?

So then a manual workaround is to change the permissions on
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Netbeans\Cache to be not just read only and
then running it should fix it then?

I like the idea of the enhancements...are further follow-up enhancements
in work?

Hi Eric,

That was my "enhancement" for NB-14. The janitor module would detect
abandoned cache directories.

Usually there is an <userdir parent>/netbeans-14 and <cachedir
parent>/netbeans-14. When the janitor encounters a directory in
<cachedir parent> which has no pair in <userdir parent> then it would
think, that cache dir is abandoned and would offer it for removal.

My primary intent was to clean up the leftover cache directories when
using the Snap distribution.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I've a number of versions (13 and 14) of Netbeans installed/used
with a
bunch of older versions since removed (i.e. 12.x and a mixture of rc
for
these).  When I startup I keep getting notifications that "Netbeans
xx.xx
was last used xx days ago" with a "Remove unused data and cache
directories
of xxx Free up xxx MB of space."  Sounds great so clicking on this
goes
away.  However, a little later, restart Netbeans and the same
notifications
show up even after clicking the remove link.
