claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] vm_bundles/claudevm.bundle consumes ~10 GB on macOS, destroying available disk space [1 participants]

TL;DR

The most likely fix is to reduce the size of the Claude Code sandbox VM bundle to prevent excessive disk space consumption.

Guidance

• Investigate the contents of the claudevm.bundle to identify potential areas for size reduction, such as unnecessary files or dependencies.
• Consider implementing a periodic cleanup mechanism to remove unused or temporary files within the sandbox VM bundle.
• Add a warning or notification system to alert users when the sandbox VM bundle approaches a certain size threshold, preventing unexpected disk space consumption.
• Evaluate the feasibility of implementing a claude sandbox purge command to allow users to manually clean up unused resources.

Example

No specific code example is provided, as the issue is related to the size of the VM bundle rather than a specific code snippet.

Notes

The exact steps to reduce the size of the VM bundle are not specified, and may require further investigation into the bundle's contents and the Claude Code application's functionality.

Recommendation

Apply a workaround, such as manually cleaning up the claudevm.bundle directory or implementing a custom cleanup script, until a permanent fix is available to reduce the size of the VM bundle.
