Parcel project filesize huge

Question

Okay I'm building a website and yes I'm a graphic designer trying to code :)

So I have a parcel 2 bootstrap 5.3 project with a video around 8 gb. So that takes up some space. But my hole project file size is 68gb which is insane. My dist and src folder are each 8.8gb, node modules 350mb - so I don't understant why the project filesize is 68gb...

I think maybe I need to clear some Parcel cache or something? Or maybe I have done something wrong in the setup - can anyone point me in the right direction on how to solve this. Thank you.

I'm not sure what to share cause I don't understand what's causing the problem but here is my Package.json looks like this. I have tried 2 times to setup new projects and import my code but same problem...

Ok had to add .parcel-cache which clears it:

  "prebuild": "rm -rf dist .parcel-cache",
