"index" is the code scanning index. Clearing that folder while NB is closed will cause NB to create a new one for all projects you open.
You shouldn't have to do that though. "mavenindex" has a local index for your .m2 folder which should be quite compact, and the remote index which is optionally downloaded - that one is large. Creating the remote index for maven central does require more temporary storage than its incremental updates later, since it is converted from one representation (raw index file) into another (lucene index). The maven remote index is also the only index which is migrated to the next NB version due to that reason. But that one shouldn't influence editor error markers. -mbien On 9/9/26 18:32, Ernie Rael wrote: > > Hi all, > > I'm lazy, if something seems weird I just remove cachedir.
