It’s that time again Lemmings.
Don’t forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.
For those who don’t know how, Android instructions are below
- Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
- Select Storage and Cache
- Press Clear Cache
Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.
You guys Lemmy hard.
Is this an issue for the iOS app as well? I’m guessing it’s not, since mine is only using 80mb of space.
I have Android 7, which doesn’t have this feature … do I need to clear the cache too? If so, does that mean I have to reinstall the app?
11.8 Gigs. Thanks OP.
10.4 gig here. Holy shit.
Well… good to know! 7 gigs for me.
Lolz, holy shit I needed this post, ducking community service here
Hot damn man, thank you, doesn’t exist some way to automate this every now and then?
6.7 Gb. I think I cleared it about a month ago
Only 2GB… Since android 14 update bricked my phone a couple of weeks ago.
Ah hello friend, I feel your pain 😢
I know this is the community specifically for the Liftoff app, but thought I’d mention Eternity which I find to be quite a similar experience and has better cache handling - it has a configurable limit and sticks to it. So, if this functionality is important to you, it might be worth trying out an alternative until Liftoff has a solution.
I just love announcements with a meme 😂, makes my day 😂.
Does it clear the cache whenever there’s an update or something? Because mine only uses 60MB, an i never cleared it.
Maybe some optimisation by your phone? I’ve seen phones that suggest regularly cleaning unused files (xiaomi or huawei, not sure).
That might be it, I have a huawei.
Not even a user but thanks for this post. My Thunder was at 8.6GB, guess that one needs an auto clear too.
About the same size for my Thunder too.
Holy crap I have 13.23 gigs. What is stored in the cache? Do I lose anything when I clear it?
Holy maccaroni
