[big complaint removed for the sake of space]

Please file an issue in JIRA and label it as an enhancement.


So, I'll question if there is a easy way to purge the cache from the inside of the IDE that I'd overlloked so far for whichever reason? If not, would
it be a good idea to add that? Also, is there a way to rate-limit it to
avoid it consuming too much disk space?

It's probably not easy to purge the cache while running. We could devise a way to delete/clean it up when the IDE exits, or when it starts.


I am very far from knowning the gory details of NetBeans internal stuff, so
I am afraid that I am just talking bullshit here and this is a big
misunderstanding, sorry if this is the case. However, even if this is the
case, I would likely to know nonetheless.

This is not bullshit. It's a nice feature, IMHO.

Some other IDEs have this feature as well. XCode, for instance, is able to delete some internal directories it uses, and that get in the way _all_ the time.

I'd like to have a feature where you could see how much cache you're using and to remove it somehow. Also a list of previous NetBeans version directories could be provided, with proper delete buttons also.


It is not just me that hit this issue. Google for "netbeans cache" and most
of the results will be from people asking about how to clear the cache
because NetBeans got confused or something like that. There is even an old
plugin called "Cache Eraser".

Ah, so we had a plugin for that.
