Correct builds != never running garbage cleanup. I would settle for it evicting older variants of a build (I also dislike the random hash that’s impossible to determine what specifically is different between two hashes / which one is newer).

Automatic garbage collection of old build artifacts* is coming in Rust 1.88 (currently on the beta channel, will become the new stable release in two weeks): https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/12633 https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/12633 *EDIT: For now this only deletes old cached downloads, not build artifacts. Thanks epage for the correction below.

  That’s as an additional flag and not the default?

    In versions earlier than 1.88, garbage collection required the unstable -Zgc flag (and a nightly toolchain). But in 1.88 and later, automatic garbage collection is enabled by default.

  That is not for build artifacts but global caches like for `.crate` files but its a stepping stone.

    Oops, thanks for the correction.
