I know about %temp%, Disk Cleanup, and Storage Sense already, but I feel like modern AI tools/IDEs leave behind way more junk than traditional apps ever did.

After uninstalling things like Cursor, Windsurf, Claude Desktop, VS Code extensions, local model runners, etc., I keep wondering:

• where do all the old agent conversations go?
• cached embeddings/vector indexes?
• temporary workspaces?
• logs/session memory?
• downloaded model artifacts?
• extension storage/cache?

A lot of these tools seem Electron-based, so even after uninstalling, there’s still stuff sitting in AppData, hidden cache folders, Roaming, Local, .cache, project directories, and who knows where else.

What surprises me is that I can barely find proper tools focused on cleaning AI-dev leftovers specifically.

Not talking about sketchy “PC cleaner” apps. I mean something realistic that can:

• detect orphaned AI IDE data
• clear old conversations/context safely
• remove stale embeddings/indexes
• clean extension/model caches
• show what’s reclaimable before deleting

Feels like AI tooling is becoming the new “Chrome with 400 tabs” for storage usage 😅

How are you all handling this right now? Manual cleanup? Scripts? Revo/BleachBit? Fresh OS installs every few months?

I'm new to zed editor, can anyone tell me where can i find the live server (icon or how to start?) extension after installing it from the extensions ??

Been spending a lot of time recently building two side projects:

- an internship platform,

- and a peer-to-peer encrypted chat app.

I originally thought most of the hard work would be writing the actual features, but honestly the difficult part ended up being everything around the features:

- keeping realtime updates consistent,

- handling unreliable connections,

- notifications,

- uploads,

- weird edge cases,

- and figuring out how users actually move through a workflow.

One thing that surprised me was how quickly simple projects start becoming “systems.” Even small changes can suddenly affect state sync, responsiveness, or message flow in unexpected ways.

I’ve mostly been building with Next.js, Node.js, Socket.io, MongoDB, and Flutter. I also experiment a lot with AI coding tools like Copilot, Claude Code, Antigravity, and Gemini CLI to speed up debugging and iteration.

Still figuring things out as I go, but building these projects definitely changed how I think about SaaS products and engineering tradeoffs.

Curious what problems surprised other people the most when building their first real SaaS-style product.

Do any of you know about this? what it does?? Anyone with linux machines tried it out???

Built something that feels a little “anti-infrastructure” so this sub might appreciate it

Been working on PeerChat — an offline-first mesh messenger where phones communicate directly over Bluetooth + WiFi without internet.

Messages hop between nearby devices automatically, forming a little self-healing local network.

Also added:

• offline maps

• encrypted identities

• emergency broadcasts

• local browser-based file sharing

Honestly started as a “this would be cool if it worked” idea and somehow became a full distributed systems rabbit hole.

It's open source and currently works only on Android.
