Removing avatars and headers in Mastodon
← Home | ← All notes | View Full Version
The next version of Mastodon can't come soon enough.
About 20GB of disk space on my instance are being taken up by media from remote users. And this is for a single user instance! I can't imagine how it must be on other instances with multiple accounts.

A recent PR should make things much better though by allowing you to remove these files.
The only thing you need to do is pass the --prune-profiles
flag to the media remove
CLI command.
The PR is already merged so hopefully that means it's coming the next release.
