Is there a way to delete the cached images saved on a hosted Lemmy instance to free up storage?

I too would like to know this, I ran LCS on one of my instances and the Pictrs data store jumped to around 10Gb. It’s not a big deal if Pictrs automatically flushes older content, but if it doesn’t this’ll build up significantly over time.

I did the same and mine's at 12, guess I'll keep track and see what happens

There is an API DELETE /internal/variants in pictrs to clear out variants of generated images. However it only cleared out a few megabytes in our case.
