Hi, I saw your post from Catalin's youtube channel. Is it okay if I delete Cache files from Visual Studio Code and yarn? I run this command(npx npkill) and it's showing me I have 95.53 GB of releasable space. Thanks for the information 👍🏻

Hi [Hulya Karakaya](https://hashnode.com/@HulyaK), I’m glad you found my article.

npx will only delete node\_modules. So if it says you have ~96 GB of node\_modules it can delete, then yeah, it’s safe.
