I’ve enjoyed using Connect but I’ve got no clue how it got this big.
I’ve posted about it before, but I think the app should have a No-Thumbnail/No-Predownload option like RiF had. Most of the data it uses up I never make use of. It’s a big waste.
No thumbnail and pre download as an option while on data was awesome with RiF. I’m on a 2 GB data plan on my phone so every little bit counts.
I’ve never cleared mine and just checked it, 1.04gb. I use the app an embarrassing amount, so I wonder if there’s one specific thing that takes up a bunch of space.
Apps have to download the thumbnails and whatever you actually click on.
Though that is a shitload.
Get SDMaid. Even the free version makes cleanup a lot easier.
It’s standard practice to cache images when displaying, as an image viewed once is likely to be viewed again, and then it’s good to save on the data and latency by loading it from disk (or even memory).
However, it’s also standard practice to have an upper size boundary on this cache and to implement an eviction mechanism for the cache once it has reached its capacity.
This is probably a case of misconfiguration or something overlooked during implementation.
SDMaid actually open source (GPLv3) now!
The dev rebuilt the app for modern Android and made it open source
Mines up to 20gb. Searched the settings the other day to set cache size but couldn’t find anything.
I just checked and my cache was over 5GB. I agree that cache wiping should occur once in a while. Oh well, doing it manually worked well enough.
Pretty sure all the content you’re reading and watching is what’s in there. Do you watch a lot of videos?
