## What is it?

Turborepo stores its local task cache and logs in `.turbo` folders, at the repository root and sometimes in each package, next to `package.json` or `turbo.json`. Cached build and test outputs make it grow over time. Only folders in projects untouched for 14 days are considered.

## What happens if you delete it?

Turborepo fills the cache again on the next `turbo run`; the first runs are slower because nothing is a cache hit. A remote cache, if you use one, is not affected.

## How to remove it properly

Move the `.turbo` folders to the Trash in Finder, or run `rm -rf .turbo` in the repository (permanent).
