Clean up

Completed

After completing the project, you may wish to clean up your development environment or return it to its typical state.

Develop in browser

Deleting the GitHub Codespaces environment ensures that you can maximize the amount of free per-core hours entitlement you get for your account.

Important

For more information about your GitHub account's entitlements, see GitHub Codespaces monthly included storage and core hours.

1. Sign into the GitHub Codespaces dashboard (https://github.com/codespaces).

   

2. Open the context menu for the codespace and select Delete.

   

Develop locally

You aren't necessarily required to clean up your local environment, but you can stop the running development container and return to running Visual Studio Code in the context of a local workspace.

1. Open the Command Palette, search for the Dev Containers commands, and then select Dev Containers: Reopen Folder Locally.

   

Tip

Visual Studio Code will stop the running development container, but the container still exists in Docker in a stopped state. You always have the option to deleting the container instance, container image, and volumes from Docker to free up more space on your local machine.
