Details

Hi,

I am using windows 11 and running act for local validation of GitHub actions.
I want to thank you this tool really help me lot.

I want to know best and clear steps to how we can do clean up after to reclaim/free disk space.
As once those GitHub actions setup done for one of repo it's not needed to update and validate frequently.
And right now it's taking big chunk of disk space. C: drive get full 😊.

Following things I already done.

Removed images from docker desktop, and restarted it. Freed lot's of space. 👍🏻

Thanks in advance.

Once I had to remove the wsl distro of docker to fully reclaim disk space.

Look at act- volumes + containers that may be leaked by act and remove them as well. (planned in https://github.com/actions-oss/act-cli/issues/13 as a sub command)
