MPE file cache taking over the disk space

Beitrag von AnrDaemon »

I've just found out that I have over 15GB of free space on the home partition… if I remove the file cache accumulated by MPE over the years. I would understand if it would store image thumbnails or something like that, but it had kept literal files. Even documents I've deleted long ago. And every time I sync the phones, the cache grows, doubling the space taken by everything downloaded from the phone.
Is there a setting to control this behavior?

Tallied at 19GB… and I though I'd need a new disk soon. Seems like I'd need a better duplicate files finder instead.

Please what is the benefit if I keep the Cache and don't delete it? If I clear the cache, won't the files that have already been synced download again?

I think theoretically a small gain in time

No, it shouldn't be
