Old updates and disk space

Is it possible to get a list of what can be deleted, or improve autoupdate, to delete older data that is kept after an update?

I see a lot of old folders in AppData\Local\LINQPad for many, many versions for LINQPad, DataContextCache, ILSpy and Logs. What is needed and what can be deleted?

Thanks!

    All the subfolders inside %localappdata%\LINQPad can be deleted with the following caveats:

    • Deleting drivers will delete any third-party drivers, so you will have to download them again
    • Deleting the ILSpy* folders means that any customizations that you've made to ILSpy settings will be lost
    • Deleting MSALCache will delete saved OAuth tokens, so you will have to re-authenticate
    • Deleting 'NuGet.NetCore(NuGet.FW46` for LINQPad 5) will delete LINQPad's package cache, so you'll have to restore packages when prompted
    • Deleting 'passwords' will remove encrypted passwords stored in LINQPad's password manager
    • Deleting sessions will delete files that are shelved when you close LINQPad without saving

    The other folders are for logs and caches. If deleted, LINQPad will automatically rebuild them as required.
