How does Julia manage its depot `~/.julia`?

On my PC the folder .julia has a size of 22 GB, but that of course depends on the number of packages and Julia versions that you install. Unused packages are garbage collected from time to time. In the folder .julia/compiled you find a sub-folder of compiled packages per Julia version. If you do not need an older Julia version any longer you can manually delete the related sub-folder.

Does that answer your question?
