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

  1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
  2. Select Storage and Cache
  3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

Holy crap I have 13.23 gigs. What is stored in the cache? Do I lose anything when I clear it?

When Liftoff loads a picture or video the file has to be stored somewhere on the device for it to be displayed. All that is stored in the Liftoff cache. You should not loose data by clearing your cache as the cache is suppose to be a temporary storage location.

If you have downloaded things from lemmy via liftoff those files will be unaffected as they are stored elsewhere.
