Cleanup on windows taking extremely long time

[bryevdv]

We are seeing 6-7 minute times for the cleanup job on Windows:

It's possible to watch every individual package deletion slowly go by one at a time. By contrast Post Prepare on ubuntu and osx takes ~2s and ~30s, respectively. Is this time for cleanup on windows expected or unavoidable? If not is there anything we can do on our end?

Hi @bryevdv, thanks for the issue. You could in the meantime disable post-run for windows

There is a yaml key to enable disable that step

https://github.com/conda-incubator/setup-miniconda/blob/main/action.yml#L247

The post process makes sense (deletion of packages) for caching. But windows caching take a long time, so it might not provide improvements.

Thanks for the link @goanpeca ! I did try to search for a way to turn off the post prepare step but somehow missed it. Will give this a try!

Let me knowhow it goes. Not a solution, but a workaround in the meantime :)

Here is an example:
