Connect has somehow grown a 30 GB cache (lemm.ee)

I've enjoyed using Connect but I've got no clue how it got this big.

I've posted about it before, but I think the app should have a No-Thumbnail/No-Predownload option like RiF had. Most of the data it uses up I never make use of. It's a big waste.

No thumbnail and pre download as an option while on data was awesome with RiF. I'm on a 2 GB data plan on my phone so every little bit counts.

Connect has a no preload option. Not sure if it works but the toggle is there.

The whole cache buildup has been an issue since it started. I have gotten in the habit of clearing the cache anytime the app seems to slow down. Around once a month or so.

To be fair lots of other apps have a cache buildup issue as well but nothing as severe as connect.
