Finally. For the first one I would just restart the VM, but the second just consumed my whole drive with no way to get it back. I had to resort to enabling filesystem compression on the vhd file.

Finally. For the first one I would just restart the VM, but the second just consumed my whole drive with no way to get it back. I had to resort to enabling filesystem compression on the vhd file.
I never really paid attention to the size of the VHD, and assumed that I had somehow generated gigabytes of dist and node_modules.
