Large Cache files #1095

Open heffneil opened 5 years ago

heffneil commented 5 years ago

I have noticed that there are large cache files within the application. 1 gig + files in some places. Is there a purge option or limit option? Just curious how we can manage this?

Thanks! Neil

We do tend to run a little bit heavier than standard browser because of the way we partition accounts. There are two things you can try...

  1. Settings > Data & Sync > double click Clean expired accounts. This will remove any orphaned accounts (which you shouldn't have), but will clean any up if there are any. Once you've done this, re-check the folder size
  2. Settings > Data & Sync > Clear All browsing Data this will require you to log back into most accounts. This will clean out all the browsing data, but should leave your cache files much smaller.

As a side note, we've got some more granular controls coming for this which will allow you to clear just certain aspects of the cache data, e.g. cached files, site data, cookies, etc all seperately
