## What is it?

SvelteKit generates a `.svelte-kit` folder next to `package.json` with generated types, route manifests and build output. Only folders in projects untouched for 14 days are considered. Typically tens to hundreds of MB.

## What happens if you delete it?

It is recreated by `vite dev`, `vite build` or `svelte-kit sync` (usually run automatically after installing dependencies). Nothing of yours is lost.

## How to remove it properly

Stop the dev server, then move the `.svelte-kit` folder to the Trash in Finder, or run `rm -rf .svelte-kit` in the project (permanent).
