file), the Unity Package Manager stores it in a cache for asset packages. Each time you import a downloaded package or a custom package, the Unity Package Manager stores it in the Assets
directory in your project.
You might want to delete a package from the asset package cache to free up space on your local hard drive. If drive space is your main reason for deleting packages from the cache, consider changing the asset package cache location.
