Multimedia

[samy2022]

Hi, I was wondering if it's normal that the multimedia system function use 21 Gb of storage. I remember that when i first found it, at the beginning of july, it was already using 14 Gb of storage

Well, I'm not sure where you are seeing the "Multimedia" folder, but the app is only 5.69 Meg.

Your images are the Data. As you add more images / videos then you will have more Data.

Thank you, it's in settings> apps > filter and sort> show system apps.
So it's the same size as the total size of them, not an additionnal 21 gb ?

Hi, we would like to inform you that the total size increase when the content( New images, Videos are added).

It is normal.

I've a library of 25mb for approximately 26go/6000files and 21go appear so expensive but depend how much media files you have stocked on you device.

Normally clear cache/data force the app to rebuild a new and fresh library, but face in your case maybe I would make a backup before try and see.

Thank you
As I can't clear cache and data, I'll maybe reset my phone to see if there's a change

You should be able to clear Cache for the Gallery you are using.

Clearing Data would remove all of your pictures / videos etc, so that is NOT a good idea.

Yeah I see! The abilty to clear cache and data for this app is now restricted after the icon have been changed. I don't know why, but there are a new app "media and device". Maybe wait the android V13
