Limit Chromium disk cache size

February 09, 2025 — BarryK

Wow, a file 919MB:

I'm running Chromium right now, and /home/chromium/.config folder is 381MB. No single huge file like TerryH has experienced; even so, a 381MB folder is too big. I have done what TerryH suggests, put in a limit of 100MB, see github:

To fix right now, you can add this option "--disk-cache-size=100000000" in chromium.desktop, as TerryH has done, or insert it into /usr/bin/chromium, line 5.
