Description

I kept running out of space, so I happened to be hunting around for ways to clear up my macbook, then I discovered this haha

Image

There were something like 90k files. I haven't actually used clockwork in a few months, but clearly it's collecting a lot of data behind the scenes.

Nothing else I'm using came close - maybe it should/could perodically clean itself? Hook into migrate:fresh or some other hook that other packages must be using?

Feel free to close if this is just clutter - I just figured maybe no one is aware of it and there might be an easy fix.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing the storage growth and tracing where Clockwork persists its data, then review the suggested periodic cleanup or migrate:fresh hook. Done means the retention behavior is defined and the storage no longer grows indefinitely during normal use.
