Weekly reminder to clear your Liftoff cache.

Mine was sitting at 5GB. Hope we get auto cache emptying at some stage.

•

I’m sitting at 560 and in the same boat.

Thank you!

7.4 GB‽ The hell?

•

Whoops. It was sitting at a comfy 10.16GB.

•

How do you do that?

•

On Android: Settings --> Apps --> Liftoff --> Storage --> click "Clear cache" in the bottom right

•

•

d'oh, thanks op.

•

Liftoff does seem to be unique in this regard as well. Just checked my Jerboa, Connect, and Thunder caches and all were less than 300MB. Liftoff was over 2g.

•

But are you using those other apps as much?

•

I use Jerboa the most, Liftoff and Connect see similar usage... though liftoff gets a bit more. It's not a case of Liftoff being the only actively used app though, or even the most actively used app.

I use them all enough to have maxed out a few hundred megs of cache. But it seems quite likely to me that other apps are doing a better expiring data from their caches than Liftoff.

15.77 GB. Whew. Thank you for the tip!

•

Does anyone know why this is so large? It seems unusually high compared to similar apps.

Probably downloads and caches more or less everything in full resolution.

•

Ok how

•

Android hold down the icon until the menu opens and select App Info.
Select storage and cache.
Press clear cache.

•

Thanks for the reminder. Mine was at 4 gigs.

•

👍 and other lemmy apps as well

Omg, I had no idea. This fixed another bug I was having too with not being able to see my subscription list.

Was sitting at 15gb

•

Huh, I had 7.1 GB.

Check out Cache Cleaner and take care of all that junk at once. I just found it a couple weeks ago
