 ### 🐛 Bug fixes
 
+- [eas-cli] Remove temporary working directories after `eas build:inspect` copies inspect output, avoiding leftover disk usage after failed builds. ([#3981](https://github.com/expo/eas-cli/pull/3981) by [@szdziedzic](https://github.com/szdziedzic))
 - [build-tools] Skip embedded bundle upload for development client builds instead of warning that the bundle is missing. ([#3940](https://github.com/expo/eas-cli/pull/3940) by [@gwdp](https://github.com/gwdp))
 - [eas-cli] Retry uploading assets that don't finish processing during `eas update`, instead of failing the update. ([#3918](https://github.com/expo/eas-cli/pull/3918) by [@gwdp](https://github.com/gwdp))
