@junlicn Thanks for reporting, What kind of hosting are you using and what operating system is it on?

This is a very strange issue, Does the size of vendor/ go down gradually over time or does it suddenly jump to that size?

sorry, at first I thinks it is the composer update script problem after I googled it. But now I am not sure. It seems after I deleted my crontab backup shell script which have some rm command, it is normal, not disappear any more.
