## Cache

Minimum disk space used

Enter a minimum size for the cache to use (in MB)

This is an advanced configuration tweak. When the cache reaches its maximum size, it will delete files to free space. It will continue deleting files until the minimum size is reached.

For example:

- If the max is set to 100 MB
- ... and the current size of all files in the cache is 99.9 MB
- ... and a 200 KB file is added
- Then the cache size will be temporarily 100.1 MB
- ... triggering the delete mechanism
- ... which will reduce the current size of all files to 75 MB

Maximum disk space used

Enter a maximum size for the cache to use (in MB)

Reduce cache to min

Press to reduce the cache to the minimum now (typically 75 MB).

Clear cache

Press to clear the cache (reduces to 0 MB).
