The command "scoop cleanup --cache --all" is used to clean up the cache and remove all the outdated or unnecessary files associated with installed applications managed by Scoop.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "scoop" refers to the Scoop package manager, used to install and manage applications on Windows.
- "cleanup" is a Scoop command that initiates the cleanup process.
- "--cache" specifies that the cleanup should target the cache directory.
- "--all" instructs Scoop to remove all files from the cache, regardless of their purpose or age.
When you run this command, Scoop will analyze the cache directory and remove any files or data no longer required by installed applications. This can free up disk space and keep the cache clean, ensuring efficient package management.
