The .julia/compiled folder is building up with a lot of .ji and .dll files for versions and packages that I have long uninstalled with Pkg.gc, is there a way to get rid of the ones I don’t need anymore in the same vein? I think it’s safe to nuke everything and let imports recompile what I need, but I’d rather not.
