Cleaning the runner image is not the responsibility of this action

[gbraad]

This is best served by other actions, or by the user itself:

minp-github-action/action.yml

Lines 17 to 29 in 2cc2b89

	- name: Remove unwanted stuff to free up disk image
	shell: bash
	run: |
	sudo rm -rf /usr/share/dotnet
	sudo rm -rf /usr/local/lib/android
	sudo rm -rf /opt/ghc
	sudo rm -rf "/usr/local/share/boost"
	sudo rm -rf /opt/hostedtoolcache/CodeQL
	sudo docker image prune --all --force
	sudo swapoff -a
	sudo rm -f /mnt/swapfile

Yes, if there is an action which perform those steps that would be nice. User mostly just want to use the action and not to worry much around resource side like disk in this case.

The action to remove things in the runner machine would be a choice of the workflow owner.

Imagine that your action is run, but all of a sudden you can't compile a dotnet-based service anymore? There are plenty of actions out there; I maintain my one, as this way I can control this for ALL my workflows: https://github.com/gbraad-actions/remove-unwanted.

If resources are a need for the action, you mention this as part of the README with a:

Note

You are advised to maximize available diskspace using an action like: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/maximize-build-disk-space

The argument could be to at least allow this to be toggled, but I would still believe it is not following separation of concerns.
