Uncluttering the Repository

My MX Repository has grown to more than 40 GB which is not exactly fun on the SSD of my MacBook. So I was wondering what made it so big.

There seem to be all the zip files of all installed firmware packages. Does CubeMX/CubeIDE ever use them again?

And what about the older revisions of the firmware packages? Is it safe to remove them?

Yes to both.  You should not need the ZIP files once they have been installed/unzipped.  You can also uninstall older versions as long as you no longer have any projects that use them.
