Oracle Fusion Middleware - High Disk Usage ?

Cleaning out my laptop in preparation for a workshop I have to deliver, I have pickup that my FMW home is taking up a massve amount of disk space. I have SOA, JDeveloper and OER/OSR installed.

After investigating I found the scoundrel - everytime you update a JDeveloper extension, it creates a *.backup.* file for all the files replaced in the JDeveloper extension.

I cleaned out the backup files, saving close to 1 Gb of disk space.
