That will not help, it’s not cache, it’s db.

Can you let me know the storage outcome of clear cache nostr:npub199zcyxlfwyhp2s48qck7h466dgnzxlzmcv70sa7w9sa0gm2qy6lsqmmqx8
most likely it means downloading whatever things that you request from then on...
events are immutable so they don't get loaded twice but mostly your client only requests new ones that fill the space of your feed
so, yeah, probably a few more seconds mainly for your DMs and the rest will probably be much like normal after the first refresh
It’s a bit of a pain - if you triple check you have your keys backed up, delete the app, reinstall, and log back in to free up db/non-cache space

Ok so I don't want to email my keys to myself, could you recommend a good method for back up of the keys?
Did you backup using iOS passwords/keychain?
The keys are just stored in the Damus app. I can write them down but was hoping for a copy paste solution that doesn't involve exposing them to email or notes app
I'm big dumb energy over here
also, i'm currently writing code to manage a bounded limit on storage for my relay... the codebase probably eventually will be suitable to be used as an internal relay, and yes it will be able to be compiled to WASM and all binary forms, because it is #golang so maybe at some point in the future when i have polished this all nicely it will become widely used and i'll be fightning off PRs to patch things
Ok so here is the before and after. Saved 4GB.

🙏
If the remainder is too painfully large, backup keys, delete and reinstall app, log in
