Profile Folder Size

Hi,
What is acceptable profile size for folders? My customer says all PC hard disk is used just for some 10k accounts.
Where most of space takes folders "code Cache" and "Service Workers"

Thanks

Yes, file size is the main problem when using profile-folders. They may achieve several gigabytes.
If you would send couple such a big profiles to us, we would investigate them and try to optimize the size.

WOW right now my customer has like 100-200 MB per profile folder. This is crazy then. How can he run 10k accounts then?
What about cleaning those folders maybe this Cache folder can be deleted or Service Workers folder, time to time? How will this affect things?

PS. and I have suggested my customer that we have to move to profile-folders as this will work much better than with profile files, I feel so stupid now.

You can clean Cache and Service Workers, but related data in a profile will be lost.
Although, it should not affect functionality of a profile-folder

@VladZen what effect will give this if I set it in arguments?

--disk-cache-dir=null

This disables page caching in browser. So, no cache will be stored in a profile-folder.
