Colima taking a lot space.

[guranshvir]

This is my first time posting, so I apologize for any mistakes. I recently started using Colima to run Docker without the default GUI, due to conflicts with previous Docker installations on my system. Without reading much documentation, I installed Colima and have since experienced significant storage issues. Today, I checked the hidden folders on my Mac and discovered that Colima was consuming nearly 100GB of space. I'm using this discussion to understand why this happens and whether I may have missed any automatic safeguards or cleanup configurations.

That is not the actual disk space being used, it is due to the way disk file sizes are reported in Finder.

You can check the actual disk size from within the Colima VM or via the file properties.

This is an example of a VM I actively use. The alloted disk size is 250GiB and I have used about 93GiB.

• checking from within the VM

  $ colima ssh -- df -h /
  Filesystem      Size  Used Avail Use% Mounted on
  /dev/root       242G   93G  149G  39% /
  

• checking the diffdisk properties

Does this not imply that you don't actually control the actual disk space used by colima?
