And Claude is hogging 12G for Cowork which I don’t want.

  That’s mostly because it’s an Electron app. It would be a fraction of that if it were a native app on macOS or Windows.

    This is more likely referring to the VM disk image the feature allocates, which would have little to do with Electron.

      Well Electron includes Chromium. Maybe that pulls the 4GB model as well… not sure if it is Chrome only.

      This, the vm bundle which reappears after you delete it. They say it's For Cowork and Claude Code, but if you don't use Cowork or CC sandboxing, it has no value. Considering I'm always finding things to delete on apples anaemic 512gb because I run out of space.

  It's possible to get rid of it. Just delete the VM Bundle file(s) and add `"secureVmFeaturesEnabled": false` to your `claude_desktop_config.json`.

    Doesn’t seem to work for windows ?.

    That was the first thing I did, it still recreated it. Surprisingly But maybe that was a me error and worth a second shot.
