taking up a huge amount of storage space

[zecamigo]

Delta Chat version

v0.17.3

Expected behavior

Manageable storage (specially attachments)

Actual behavior

Overgrown data folder taking all my free internal storage space

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. Get an old phone (e.g. LG E 610) that doesn't support moving apps to the Ext SD Card
2. Chat and share files freely for a while
3. Watch your storage space go away
4. Unless you have rooted your phone and understand what files to erase from your data folder, dump either deltachat or the whole app data.

Screen snapshots

NA

Debug logs

Not really a bug, more a feature request:

• an option to pick a folder in an external SD card for storing attachments, or
• an option to erase attachments

Thanks!
