tmp files consuming lot of disk space

[rOY369]

I am running botasaurus with chromium with the following settings

        @browser(
            output=None,
            create_error_logs=False,
            headless=True,
            close_on_crash=True,
            block_images=True,
            add_arguments=[
                "--no-sandbox",
                "--allow-insecure-localhost",
                "--disable-web-security",
                "--disable-features=IsolateOrigins,site-per-process",
                "--disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled",
                "--disable-crash-reporter",
                "--disable-breakpad",
            ],
            raise_exception=True,
            user_agent=dynamic_user_agent,
            window_size=WindowSize.RANDOM,
            wait_for_complete_page_load=False,
        )

i am running multiple windows at the same time.

it is saving lot of temp files in this pattern /tmp/snap-private-tmp/snap.chromium/tmp/bota/..... and with time it is leading to disk space fully consumed.

how can I avoid this issue?

You can change the default profile storage location to another directory, or create multiple profiles and switch between them as needed.

funcation get_profile()

def get_program_dir() -> Path:
   # Get the application directory path to save the 'profiles' folder next to the program
    if getattr(sys, "frozen", False):
        return Path(sys.executable).parent
    return Path(__file__).parent


def ensure_profiles_folder(base_dir: Optional[str] = None) -> Path:
    base = Path(base_dir) if base_dir else get_program_dir()
    profiles = base / "profiles"
    profiles.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
    return profiles


def get_profile(data: Any, base_dir: Optional[str] = None) -> Optional[str]:
    try:
        if isinstance(data, dict):
            phone = data.get("phone_number") or data.get("sender_phone")
            if not phone:
                return None
            safe = profile_name
            profiles_dir = ensure_profiles_folder(base_dir)
            profile_path = profiles_dir / safe
            profile_path.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True)
            print(f"✅ Using profile path: {profile_path}")
            return str(profile_path.resolve())
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"⚠️ Error in get_profile: {e}")
    return None




 def _start_driver_for():

          profile_path = get_profile(data_item)
          print(profile_path)
          drv = Driver(profile=profile_path) if profile_path else Driver()
