Hello -
I was gathering some stats about my sd card on my Raspberry 4 where I have OctoPrint running. I noticed the disk space consumption was up, so I did a little research. This is when I found the /home/[user]/.octoprint/data/bgcode folder and there were many, many copies of .bgcode files previously printed.
I am confused about this because I try to keep the uploaded folder as thin as possible. Is this by design? Why keep old copies of .bgcode files previously printed? Is it safe to delete all these files?
thanks!
That's actually because of my plugin I suspect. I don't think I added any form of deleting of the files when the one that shows in the uploaded folder list is deleted. The plugin saves the file there to run the extraction process of pure gcode (ones that show up in the file list). You can definitely delete those files in that folder, or alternatively in plugin manager you can use the eraser icon next to the plugin to delete all those files in one go. Feel free to open a feature request on the plugin's repo to handle this better, otherwise I'll forget.

Thank you there @jneilliii - just so I put the feature request in the right place, under what plugin do you want me to make the entry in? Just wondering.
Please, let me know where to make the request and I'll be happy to do that.
