title: Freeing up disk space on azure web apps
body: <p>I've recently been on a support ticket with Azure, and they've recommended turning on <a href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/app-service-local-cache/" rel="nofollow">Local caching</a> to eliminate occasional outage blips.</p>
  
  <p>The problem with that, is that you need to watch your disk space, since >1Gig is not allowed. And if you deploy from git, like I do, that's an issue because the whole repository is checked out, then built locally, and then kudu-synced.</p>
  
  <p>I've looked at trimming my repo down, but that's only going to yield small savings. What I'd like to do is to remove my <code>repository</code> folder once the deployment has complete. Is that a sensible idea, or are there other solutions to this problem?</p>
