DeepSeek agent flags a 54 MB file that survived cleanup passes

Developers are discussing a 54 MB leftover file that survived a full day of automated cleanup passes, only surfacing when DeepSeek's own agent pointed out how full its context window had become. The anecdote has become talking point among devtool and open-source communities, with people joking and reflecting on how much junk code agents silently ingest while working.
Why now: It highlights the gap between automated cleanup tooling and AI agents actually reading the contents of their context windows.
