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

7.4 GB‽ The hell?

Thank you!

13.72 GB, I guess I'm doing my part to support the platform! 😇

[–] LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

How do you do that?

[–] FrankenSpinach@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] agressivelyPassive@feddit.de 3 points 1 year ago

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

Ok how

[–] slazer2au@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

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

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

[–] nerdalie@lib.lgbt 2 points 1 year ago

Thanks for the reminder. Mine was at 4 gigs.

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