It was fixed for me after manually updating the Warp install from the site. And deleting the files ofc.

Hi Folks, sorry to hear about this issue. We should for sure look into cleaning those up automatically going forward, so thanks for pointing that out. As a stopgap, you can safely delete the sub-folders in autoupdate.

not sure if it's related or not but deleting the sub folders in autoupdate causing my Warp to behaving weirdly, now all my ssh session is no longer warpify. Will try to do a clean install and see if it fix the issue

Hi! Also experiencing this issue, my autoupdate folder is weighing 258.8GiB now (measured through ncdu) I'll delete what's inside the folder, thanks for the input @dannyneira!

Just had this issue and I'm on v0.2025.08.13.08.12.stable_02 which the app claims to be the latest 🤷‍♂️

@VirtuaBoza if you were on a much older version, the cleanup should happen on the next update, let me know if this isnt the case.

@VirtuaBoza if you were on a much older version, the cleanup should happen on the next update, let me know if this isnt the case.

This appears to still be happening on v0.2025.09.17.08.11.stable_02

Possibly related, when I use the "check for updates" button in the app, it always says I'm up to date, when it reality it appears that v0.2025.10.29.08.12 is the latest
