Cleanup

Reclaims space from what pip and Python leave behind. Sizes are measured before anything is deleted.

Target	What it is
pip download cache	Cached wheels and sdists, shared by every environment
.egg-info directories	Build metadata left by editable installs and older setuptools builds
__pycache__ folders	Compiled bytecode, rebuilt on demand

Running a cleanup

Tick the categories to remove, then click Run cleanup and confirm. Cokpyt reports how much was freed.

Safety

• pip cache — safe at any time. You lose the offline speedup; pip downloads again when it needs to.
• .egg-info — safe for packages you are no longer developing. Editable installs may recreate theirs.
• __pycache__ — safe at any time. The first run afterwards is a little slower.

tip

Cleanup pays off most after removing a lot of packages.
