After we install the myriad of Go CLI tools, we are left with a hefty cache folder, which is included in the image. This was originally described in #1146 and aims to improve the size of the image by almost a third.

Hey there @osechet, and thanks for the suggestion. From my perspective, it makes sense to remove all the tool cache and I will be raising a PR shortly. |
