@roka #AndStatus should delete images and messages according to AndStatus Settings -> Storage -> History Size/History Time

@andstatus @thefaico it does but the lowest deletion thresholds (500 messages or one day) can still clog up built-in memory on certain low-memory devices, especially since the only choices for storage are /data/ or /storage/emulated/0/. Doubly so if you follow artists on pawoo and opt to *not* disable displaying attachments.
To be fair, it is absolutely a matter of setting AndStatus up appropriately but can still be annoying.
Newer Androids (6+ afair) at least have an option of pooling internal and external memory together - but that requires a format.

@roka I created the feature ticket: "Maximum size of cached images, Mb" with a default value of 100 Mb
I.e. we may decide to store messages for years, but have a reasonable limit for avatars and attachments.

Avatars are much smaller than attachments, so maybe internally #AndStatus will distribute the whole allocated size between them so that avatars could live longer in the cache.
