Hidden Visual/Xamarin Studio Download Cache

You can blow away anything that starts with Xamarin._ and zips: Mac: ~/.local/share/Xamarin (basically all other mac stuff is in here).PC: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Xamarin.PC: C:\Users\%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\XamarinBuildDownloadCache.Now things are really small, but all versions ever are cached around on your machine, which is a good thing, but let’s purge!
XAMARIN VISUAL STUDIO DOWNLOAD INSTALL
When you install a support package or google play service previously, a ton of files had to be downloaded. Mac: ~/.nuget/packages & ~/.local/share/NuGetĭelete it all! Now all your packages will be re-downloaded.This is the first thing I blow away because I don’t need 5GB of packages cached! Head to: I do this every few months because there are always new upgrades, nugets, and android packages that are cached around. While VS 2015 for sure installs tons of stuff all over the place and I can manually uninstall things, I figured it was a good time to help developers clean up space on their machines.

XAMARIN VISUAL STUDIO DOWNLOAD UPGRADE
Today, I officially uninstall Visual Studio 2015 and upgrade to Visual Studio 2017!! Whenever I do a major upgrade I usually re-format my machine and get a fresh install, but this time I decided not to and just uninstall and clean up my machine as best as I can.
