iOS Immich App Size Too Large
Hi, I believe this should have been resolved in https://github.com/immich-app/immich/pull/20448, and I have upgraded my Immich server to version 1.139.4 and the app to the latest version 1.139.3.
However, I've noticed that after hashing all the photos and backing them up to the Immich server, my Immich app (with the beta timeline enabled and 71625 local assets) is taking up a total of 22.98 GB of storage.
I have already tried tapping the "Clear File Cache" button on the Beta Sync Status page, but the storage usage remains the same.
I would like to ask if this app size is considered normal or…?

[Pull Request] fix: clear local file cache before upload (immich-app/immich#20448)
Successfully submitted, a tag has been added to inform contributors. :white_check_mark:can you try toggle the upload button, then see if the size is reduced?
Hi, I've backuped all my assets~
But my Immich app size is still 22.98GB (App size: 60.9 MB, Documents & Data: 22.92 GB)
What I'm thinking is, I'm not sure if this 22.98 GB represents cached content that hasn't been cleared, or if the app's database is genuinely that large.
(I'm more inclined to believe it's the former, considering even Google Photos only takes up 1.91 GB).
can you go to the Beta Sync Stats page and capture the screenshot?
Do you mostly have your content in iCloud?
Here is the screenshot.
And yes, all of my photos are synced to iCloud Photos.
Can you scroll down that screen and try to export the database, I doubt that the database would be more than a few hundred MB
pressing clear file cache doesn't do anything to that takeup space either?
Sure! I just exported the database, and it seems that the sqlite file only takes 146.9MB
pressing clear file cache doesn't do anything to that takeup space either?I do try press "Clear File Cache" button multiple times, but the app didn't show any toast message or print any logs, also the app size didn't change.
Here is a short screen recording if you need it
Thank you
I will keep this in mind and investigate it
Thanks a lot! I’ll keep the environment as it is, so I can collect more relevant logs for you if needed.
If it's helpful, I can also open a GitHub issue for easier tracking~
It might take some time to clear the cache if there are a lot of cached files. Can you press the clear cache button and wait for a minute or two, close the app and check its size then?
Hi, I just tested it~
After I tapped the Clear File Cache button, I kept the app open in the foreground with the screen on. I have waited for five minutes, but the app size is still not changed 🙁
From my perspective, I thought that when I add photos and perform an upload, the PhotoManager.clearFileCache() function should also be executed.
However, the app size didn’t change, and the SQLite file isn't that large, so I'm not really sure what's taking up all the app's space…
Hi, I found my app size becomes only 2.22GB today, not so sure if this is solved by the new app update or something else, but really appreciate your help!!!
