What I found:
uv uses aggressive caching to avoid re-downloading and re-building dependencies that have already been fetched or built.
uv cache clean clears the entire cache; uv cache clean PACKAGE (for example uv cache clean ruff) clears cache entries for one package.
Evidence:
https://docs.astral.sh/uv/concepts/cache/ · https://docs.astral.sh/uv/reference/storage/
Still unknown:
Typical long-term cache growth rate on a given machine without periodic measurement.
Useful next check:
