Whenever I run a newly created flutter project, a flutter_tools folder is generated on my AppData/Local/Temp folder that does not go away and I have to delete it manually. My main problem is that over the time, since when running or debugging an app, I will do many re-runs, these folders accumulate over time and happen to have a cumulative size of 100 GB, anyone else facing the same problem?

Why you use this flutter_tools in your project ? – Mohammad Mirshahbazi Apr 30 '21 at 09:34

I don't, it is generated automatically each time I ran a flutter project – user14624595 Apr 30 '21 at 17:17

That's not true, you added this flutter_tools in pubspec.yaml, and this library use in your project please check it and tell me. – Mohammad Mirshahbazi May 02 '21 at 09:36

There is no flutter_tools per se in my pubspec.yaml, and I use multiple packages since it's a big project. Could it be that some package uses this flutter_tools you mention? I believe that this is not a problem of packages but compilation (something to do with dev_tools when launching on chrome since the files are on the temp folder and are being generated each time the programm starts). – user14624595 May 05 '21 at 06:37

Definitely so, this package used in your project, maybe other packages use that, you must find it and fix it. – Mohammad Mirshahbazi May 05 '21 at 06:43

Each of these folder has an app.dill file inside, are you certain that this is a package issue and not a windows platform one? How exactly does it generate these through the package, please enlighten me. – user14624595 May 05 '21 at 06:48
