Codex is eating my SSD: one folder already at 130GB
yeah280 · reddit · 2026-11-06
A Reddit user reports Codex consuming massive disk space: free SSD space dropped from 300–400GB to 100GB, with the Codex folder alone at 130GB. They regularly delete old chat/session folders but space still goes missing.
They ask why Codex uses so much storage, whether it keeps temp files/backups/logs elsewhere, and whether there's a safe way to auto-clean — on Windows across multiple coding projects.
