Why does Amethyst not allow the user to empty the cache? I had over 1gb cache & the only way to delete it was to clear the storage & re-enter my private keys. 1gb of cache is not necessary for a nostr client.

Discussion
We are not doing anything to protect the cache. Android fully manages it. So, I don't really know why it doesn't clear it. It has been like that since day 1.
However, 1GB of cache is actually super easy to reach with just profile pictures. Many of the animated pictures are 20-50MB in size. You only need 20 profile pictures to reach 1GB. Sum all the uncompressed videos/pictures people send and boom GBs of data.
I can clear cache for amethyst on android
