Suggestion: clean up data for inactive workshop IDs to reclaim disk space #1122
While checking disk usage under ~/.local/share/workshop, I noticed several ID directories belonging to old projects, and together they take up a considerable amount of space.
The entries listed by workshop list --global don’t match the contents of ~/.local/share/workshop/id. That’s expected: the global list only shows active workshops, while $XDG_DATA_HOME/workshop keeps data for all of them, including inactive ones.
However, there’s no safe way to clean up these leftover directories today. A supported cleanup mechanism would let users reclaim disk space without risking the deletion of data that’s still in use.
It's actually unexpected that workshop list --global doesn't match ~/.local/share/workshop/id. But it's certainly possible, e.g. if you remove the snap without removing all workshops first.
We should have some kind of prune or purge command, I think
