Get The pip download cache Size Report (C#)
Recursively sums the size of the pip download cache, read-only (no deletion).
PipCacheSizeReport.cs
// PipCacheSizeReport.cs
//
// Reports how much disk space the pip download cache is using, read-only.
//
// Usage: dotnet new console -o PipCacheSizeReport, replace Program.cs
// with this file, then dotnet run.

// IgnoreInaccessible (the EnumerationOptions default) skips subfolders we
// can't read instead of throwing — GetFiles(pattern, SearchOption) does not.
