OpenAI's Codex team rolled out disk storage optimizations for the ChatGPT & Codex desktop apps, reducing on-disk state by 60% after power users reported running out of space. A new Storage tab shows the breakdown — one user's Codex occupied 43.5 GB, dominated by 28.7 GB of worktrees and 9.6 GB of chats — with built-in tools to clean up old chats, manage worktrees, and restore or delete archived conversations.
