oh bro, that would be very helpful!
a "temp" folder that can be deleted...
so I could do something to clean up before starting the Bot!
having a cleaner boot.

I think .wwebjs folder stores all necessory files and caches of your whatsapp data. And nost of those files are necessory for your browser. Deleting that folder is not a best solution.

Moreover storage on cloud is the cheapest upgrade which u could do. Even if this folder exceeds above 1 gb it wont hurt ur node server as that folder is used by puppeteer.

#

The reason you want to limit it to 50 or 100mb because of github limitation ?

Add this folder to git ignore file.

Or maybe i dont understand the reason for your need. Sorry 😅

Hi, did you find any solution for this?

the reason is obvious. it takes too much space sometimes. especially when u intend to use multiple sessions. for instance i have multiple sessions that each one of them takes more than 5GB for their chunks(since im using remoteAuth instead). and i have no idea how to handle this issue too!
