Is it safe to delete “inspector” folder from Electron 5 package?

Question

I’ve recently updated Electron from v4 to v5 and found a new ~9MB folder in the installed Electron package at node_modules/electron/dist/resources/inspector. What is this for?

There seems to be no consequences for deleting this folder.

I’m using electron-builder to package my app and it includes this folder in the packaged app.

Is it safe to delete/exclude it from my packaged app?

Package used: [email protected] for 32-bit Windows

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

There is no document about this folder but it's deleted at [email protected].

Answer 2

It appears to be indeed added by mistake. It's removed in > 5.0.6.
