Sandbox cleanup

← All terms · Orbit-internal concepts

A Settings panel showing orphaned sandbox worktrees, branches, or session rows. Lets you Clean Up (delete) or Ignore (hide) each card.

What it is

Settings → Queue & Sessions shows a Sandbox section only when Orbit detects orphaned items — sandbox worktrees, branches, or active/conflict session rows with missing worktrees. Each card explains what was found, when, and why. Clean Up removes the orphans; Ignore hides the record without deleting.

When you would use it

You visit Sandbox cleanup when something interrupted a sandbox session and left state behind. Most users see it rarely.

Common operations

  • Cleaning up after sandbox crashes
  • Removing stranded worktrees from interrupted sessions
  • Acknowledging orphans you intentionally want to keep
