Cleanup temp puppeteer files before or after run

[dyndragon]

Description

I've discovered over 20GB of temp folders generated in the local user temp directory in windows (C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\puppeteer*) during the time I've been running nvidia-snatcher. Is there a way to reduce this or keep it cleaner?

Possible solution

Set logging level of chromium browser to error only, or even lower. Cleanup process on startup or shutdown?

They must be cleaned at some point, my puppeteer chrome profile in /tmp only consumes 260MB and I've been running the script for well over a week. On Linux though, not Windows.

I think we get our cache in /tmp/. Here's a good link for how often.

As for Windows users, yeah, it's a good idea. We should figure that out.

On Windows 10 for me, the temp folders for all of the chrome instances live here: C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Temp

Many folders named puppeteer_dev_chrome_profile-guid

Mine is sitting at 5Gb at the moment, shutdown PC last night and powered on this morning.

[Un?]surprisingly, Windows doesn't clean this up.

We can put this on the backlog.

Same issue, 20GB of puppeteer_dev_chrome_profile folders. Disk cleanup doesn't remove them.
