...I just noticed that my pd-devel pd/obj file is over 75MB's: it's full of directories named 0 to F, each containing at least 100 files named with seeming random strings of letters and numbers, and the files go back at least a year...
...where/why are these being generated (scons?), and how can I get rid of 'em? I doubt I need that much object coverage...
thanx, jamie

Yes, scons produces these as a result of caching for different compile options. I also find this annoying but haven't spent time on avoiding it.

it's a compile cache, you can safely delete them ...

Yes. Authors of scons have figured out one way to get builds to waste even more diskspace and to make forcing of the rebuild of a file need more than just removing that file. It creates a backup of that file in that huge-ass database with directories named 0 to F.
and how can I get rid of 'em?
