Kaggle co-founder finds Claude Code's .claude/worktrees quietly ate 449GB of his disk
benhamner · x · 2026-10-28
Kaggle co-founder Ben Hamner wondered why his local disk was full — and "thanked" Claude. His du output shows the .claude/worktrees directory under his git repo consuming 449GB, a classic case of Claude Code's auto-created git worktrees piling up unnoticed. A useful reminder for heavy agent users to clean up worktrees regularly.
