Playwright and Cypress downloads

Every Playwright or Cypress upgrade downloads new browsers or app binaries (300 MB–1 GB each) and leaves the old ones behind.

npx diskdiet clean --only playwright,cypress
  • Playwright (ms-playwright in your cache folder): older revisions of each browser (Chromium, Firefox, WebKit…) are removed; the newest of each always stays.
  • Cypress: older Cypress versions are removed; the newest stays.

If a project needs an older version again, npx playwright install or npx cypress install downloads it.
