Be more disk space friendly

Currently, this takes up 61 GB of my hard disk:

For isntance, the same wiremock version takes up space

If this is not possible, can an automatic cache cleanup be made? Maybe after one week? 😅

If anything, this is an issue with https://github.com/gradlex-org/extra-java-module-info that contains the transform producing these Jars.

This is controlled by Gradle itself (createdResources.removeUnusedEntriesAfterDays):
https://docs.gradle.org/current/userguide/directory_layout.html#dir:gradle_user_home:configure_cache_cleanup

Usually, the default values are sufficient though. You are running into this, because you work on the build itself, which leads to the transform cache key changing regularly. During normal development, you should not notice this.

During such special situations, It is also fine to manually delete the transforms folder.

Nice! Thank you for the detailed explanation with references. Makes perfectly sense.

(And I think, I do not need to buy a third hard disk for my desktop PC ^^)
