Sandbox cleanup
Published Updated
What is Sandbox cleanup?
A Settings panel showing orphaned sandbox worktrees, branches, or session rows. Lets you Clean Up (delete) or Ignore (hide) each card.
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.
