iPad Documents and Data keeps growing

Is there a way to clear a cache in the iPad app?

I’ve only been using Netnewswire for a couple of weeks, and the documents and data are over 804 mb. It’s almost doubled in just five days. I unstarred all my saved articles and it actually increased.

I just had to create space on the iPad to do the update to os 26.2, so I’ve gotten very storage conscious. I can’t just let the Netnewswire data keep going up.

NetNewsWire does delete old articles after a period of time (which depends on your syncing system). It doesn’t keep everything forever, and the storage won’t grow forever.

But it does tend to keep things for about 3 months. The amount of storage that requires depends on how many feeds you have and how active they are.

Which syncing system are you using, if any?

Thanks for your reply. It looks like you’re busy with an update.

I’m using iCloud, and I also have the Mac app installed. I wondered if it made a difference that I don’t use the Mac app very often. But I just used it to see if it would clear anything on the iPad, but it didn’t change much.

Last night it had gone down to ~300 mb, then up again this morning.

I will try to trust that it will max out at some point and not go any higher, as you said.
