Signing Out Doesn't Clear Storage on Phone: Uninstalling + Reinstalling App Required

[bouteloua]

Are you referring to cache, storage, or both? Did tapping “clear cache” in your phone settings work?

@cazort

Wouldn’t it be simple to make a menu option available that just forces clearing of the cache?

There’s an existing feature request for adding a “clear cache” option within the app itself, though you should be able to go to settings>Apps>iNaturalist>Storage and cache to clear the cache, storage, or both.

@cazort

it might be worth enabling some setting that would allow a rolling clearing of the cache, or perhaps an option (set by default?) to delete image files after they are successfully uploaded?

Looking through past posts, there are already measures in place to limit and clear the amount of data being stored on the device, including removing full-size photos.

(As far as your long password, password manager apps/software like KeePass definitely come in handy!)
