battlebox — audit of the br user profile
Short answer: no. The profile is 46.9 GB, of which ~45 GB is cache and re-downloadable installers. There is no unique source code, no documents, and no SSH private keys.
Exactly one thing is unique to this machine: a ~7-line defensive try/catch in one C# file. Everything else is either already on Bitbucket or reproducible.
Context: this was a developer account, last actual logon 2023-05-16. We're reclaiming space on battlebox's C: drive, which was down to 1.5 GB free.
What's in the profile
| Location | Size | Contents |
|---|---|---|
AppData\Local | 40 GB | Google Drive cache 29.9 GB (stale since Feb 2023) + NVIDIA 7.2 GB (incl. a single 6.8 GB log file) + NuGet 1.1 GB. All cache. delete |
Downloads | 6.0 GB | See below — the only real content. |
source\repos | 0 | Completely empty. No code. delete |
Documents | 21 MB | 827 files, all vendor samples — .NET Reactor SDK test apps, IISExpress config, VS Visualizers. delete |
Desktop, OneDrive, Pictures/Videos/Music | 0 | Empty (a Teams shortcut and desktop.ini files). delete |
.ssh | 395 B | known_hosts only — no private keys. No credential exposure. delete |
The only content worth discussing
sartorius.assettools (3.6 GB) — a git working copy. It is already safe:
HEADis byte-identical toorigin/masteron Bitbucket (be8dc68) — nothing unpushed, no stashes.- 31 files show as modified, but 29 are pure CRLF line-ending noise (the diff is 1977 insertions / 1978 deletions — it rewrites whole files unchanged).
- The 3.6 GB is
bin/objplus three 1 GB scratch buffer files. The actual.gitis 156 KB.
Only two files carry real changes:
FileController.cs— wraps the per-project loop in atry/catchso one failing project logs and continues instead of aborting the whole download. This is the one genuinely unique thing in the profile. ~7 lines, from 2022, quite possibly obsolete..sln— removes a project reference pointing at a relative local path. A machine-specific fix, not a deliverable.
Other files in Downloads (~1.6 GB): some 2022 Revit models (Zürich FireBIM) and a set of FBX/NWC exports of a customer transport-system model at several detail levels. These look like project data that should already exist in the project archive on Drive — this is the only thing I could not verify from the machine itself. Worth one check before deleting. The remaining ~600 MB is installers (TeamViewer, TortoiseGit, dotPeek, Google Drive, etc.), all re-downloadable.
Recommendation
- Save one patch file (a few KB) for the
FileController.cschange:git diff -w -- .../FileController.cs > D:\archive\br-sartorius-filecontroller.patch - Confirm the Revit and FBX files (~1.6 GB) exist in the project archive on Drive.
- Delete the rest — about 45 GB.
Unrelated to disk space The br Windows account is still enabled, with the password last set in March 2022, on an account unused since May 2023. Worth disabling regardless of what we do with the files.
