Is the __node-manifests directory necessary for builds to run?

[struct78]

My builds are generating over 700,000 JSON files in this folder, which is absolutely killing my deployment times (not to mention my S3 bill $$).
Assume they're not needed by the production bundles as I can't see any network requests for them?

@evenwestvang Could you help?
Still open? We're facing the same problem.

For the record @sven5, I solved the issue like this:

gatsby-node.js

export const onPostBuild = () => {
  fs.rmSync(path.resolve("./public/__node-manifests"), { recursive: true, force: true })
}

@struct78 Thank you!
