It's that time again Lemmings.

Don't forget to clear your Liftoff cache. Liftoff currently doesn not have a auto clear cache feature.

For those who don't know how, Android instructions are below

  1. Long hold the Liftoff icon and select App Info
  2. Select Storage and Cache
  3. Press Clear Cache

Feel free to share your cache size and not compare our addictions.

24.9GB here. That explains why I was getting storage errors from the play store.

Damn, I think we have a winner.

Which is strange since cached data is technically temporary data. The OS should have fred some of that memory to make room for whatever operation you were trying to accomplish on the Play Store.

Maybe it was because I didn't install it from the store so it didn't show up on the play store storage list. I use obtainuium to install it and had to go into the Android system storage settings, and pick 'show all apps', to see what was going on.
