That’s almost the size of MyEclipse itself. Thank you very much for the information.

The size of the CFS file depends on the size of your .m2 repository in the user home directory. Please check this link for suggestions about disabling the maven indexing : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4199743/what-are-the-gigantic-cfs-files-all-about-in-eclipse-workspace-plugin-folder Hope this helps.

So I guess it’s safe to delete the file.

Hope this helps. Let us know if you see any issues. –Swapna MyEclipse Support Author Posts Viewing 4 posts - 1 through 4 (of 4 total) Reply To: Large CFS files You must be logged in to post in the forum log in
