Description

Session Goal

The session aimed to optimize disk space usage and manage Python packages efficiently across different environments.

Key Activities

  • Linux Cache Management: Executed commands to list and clean cache directories on a Linux system, focusing on both user and system caches to free up disk space.
  • Python Module Cleanup: Identified and cleaned heavy Python modules in both global and virtual environments, including reviewing and uninstalling large packages.
  • Package Management Triage: Developed a strategy for reducing the size of Python package installations by removing large, unused packages.
  • Disk Space Recovery Plan: Implemented a multi-step plan to recover disk space by removing unnecessary environments, cleaning caches, and auditing installed packages in a Conda setup.

Achievements

  • Successfully freed up disk space by cleaning caches and removing unnecessary Python packages.
  • Improved package management strategy for Python environments.

Pending Tasks

  • Further audit of installed packages to ensure no critical dependencies are removed inadvertently.
  • Continuous monitoring and management of disk space and package sizes to prevent future issues.
