Print the path to Bun's global module cache

$ bun pm cache

$ bun pm cache rm

bun pm cache [rm]

bun pm cache manages Bun's global module cache directory where all packages downloaded from npm registries are stored. Running without arguments prints the absolute path to the cache directory. The rm subcommand deletes the entire cache contents.
The default cache location is ~/.bun/install/cache, where packages are stored in subdirectories named \${name}@\${version}. When bun install runs, it checks this global cache first and uses cached copies via hardlink, clonefile, or copy instead of fetching from the network.
The cache location can be overridden via the BUN_INSTALL_CACHE_DIR environment variable or the [install.cache] section in bunfig.toml.

Cache settings in bunfig.toml

$ [install.cache]
dir = "~/.bun/install/cache"
disable = false
disableManifest = false

There is no selective cache clearing; bun pm cache rm is all-or-nothing and removes the entire global cache. To remove a specific package, manually delete its directory under ~/.bun/install/cache/\<package\>@\<version\>. The command historically required being run inside a directory containing a package.json, even though it operates on the global cache.
