What can I do with => PATH/TO/REPOSITORY folder?

Time:10-21

I have just found the folder REPOSITORY in my local disk with the path:

C:\PATH\TO\REPOSITORY

It is huge (4GB), considering the few repositories I have and I don't have many that I have cloned.

Besides, the files that are inside are completely unknown by me like:

  • notocjksc.tar (200.000 KB)
  • pst-geo.tar (139.567 KB)
  • cbgreek.tar
  • biber-darwin-x86_64.tar

To name a few, actually I have more than 4000 files...

So I have no idea what those files are there for, as well as whether or not I could delete them, or some of them, to free some space from my disk.

Thanks

If you do not need those files, you can delete them, but it will impact only the local disk, not the remote repository.

I would check in each repository the remote URL

 git remote -v

And check on the remote side if the same huge files were pushed or not.
Then you would need to decide if those files should stay in those remote repositories or not.
