    I have SD maid too, but to actuality clear the caches automatically it needs accessibility services enabled, and that can totally fuck up Android security so I’m stuck with doing it manually. (Dunno if newer droid versions don’t have this issue.)

    There’s no doubt in my mind that the removal of “clear all cache” button that used to be in Android was purely so that partners can sell more hardware.

    I’ve begun to care about this when at one point I was running low on storage and found that even random apps like Revolut or a weather radar app can easily accumulate a gigabyte of garbage over time. So it’s not a jab against Liftoff… Android apps overall just suck at this hard.

    At least those that can export/import settings can be reset easily, but the rest… Ugh.
