[Mesa-users] MESA installation data folder

[Rob Farmer]

There are some easy steps to remove unneeded files from mesa:

rm -rf data/*/cache/*  # > 1gb
You can also set use_cache=.false. in star/private/star/private_def.f90 to
turn of making cache files at all

Lots if stuff we don't need after installation:
rm -rf */{*.tar.*,*.txz,*.tbz} # 2gb
rm -rf .svn #2.5gb
rm -rf */make/* #62mb
rm -rf *.rb # small
rm -rf */data #small
rm -rf eos/*_builder #200mb
rm -rf */preprocessor #64mb

thats at least ~5.5Gb saving
