The project starts without any issues, but when I terminate it and check the background processes, I see turbo is hanging in the background. What’s causing this? Even after I delete the project, the process is still there because it’s resident in memory. How can I optimize or fix this?  Anthony Shew (@anthony-shew) · 2025-09-22 · ♥ 1 This is likely [the background daemon](https://turborepo.com/docs/reference/configuration#daemon), though it’s hard to tell with the screenshot given. Is it idling or does it appear to be running and consuming resources? Gixoqqpt 6065 (@gixoqqpt-6065) · 2025-09-23 Yes, I did not configure the daemon property separately in the project. I saw in the document that the default is to allow background running. Now the strange problem is that after I finished the project and removed the file directory and it is not on the computer’s disk, I can still see the turbo running and consuming resources in the process, and the CPU usage is also relatively high.
