“Delete photos even harder” I felt that. And when that doesn’t work, delete photos harder than harder!! I use a NAS mainly for backup and to free up space by deleting local files. But some apps burn through storage ridiculously fast — like Spotify, Damus, Primal, and the usual centralized social media apps. Apple intentionally makes it difficult to clear cache, clearly pushing users toward buying more iCloud storage. It’s a frustrating tactic.
