Eclipse’s .metadata/.plugins seems to consume way too much space (235 MB), is there something I can safely throw away and still be happy?
I archive my source root, and this seems to take away all my space. This is a project with several Java projects.
The plugins store your workspace configuration. If you delete them then your workspace may become unusable.
Depending on your plugins used and what you are doing you can probably delete some of them. Personally I’m regularly cleaning some of the plugins.
What I delete:
I’d suggest you get a tool like WinDirStat and check, which plugins use up your space and maybe by name e.g.
indexyou figure out that this plugin can be safely deleted.
