Removing the flyweight directory will only save space if you have a large number of unused/deleted materials since the last time you cleaned up the folder. In other words it will effectively only reclaim
You need sufficient space for an entire git clone for every material that is listed in the Materials page. If you are using the git path material plugin with many different paths, and your repositories are very large, you may need a lot of space. (GoCD does not yet support blobless clones on the server as would possibly help in this situation) I would review your repository sizes and materials to assess how much space you require given these constraints. -Chad On Sat, 12 Jul 2025, 07:16 Obiageli Adegbite, <oech...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thank you for responding, I read that and delete the flyweight but it > simple refills just as quickly as you delete them.
