that seems excessive.

You can run :

to visualise which folders are storing the most GB

anything in your database folder %appdata%\rootjazz\twitterdub should be kept, other folders in the twitterdub folder can be deleted without major issues usually.

But double check with me which are you biggest folders and I will confirm

Okay, i have two instances of Twitterdub. In both of them the biggest folder is "chromesessions" and second is "logs". So can I remove their content?

BTW: small side question - option to "Use cookies" should be checked for regular use or not?

ok, yes you can delete chrome session folder. It is where chrome holds your browser session data. Don't know why they hold so much there tbh.

Deleting that folder, just means next time you use a browser module in teh app, it will have to log in

yes always use cookies, unless you have a reason not to (clean login for example)

Why you just dont add two command line parameters i mentioned in suggestion thread to chrome to disable disk cache? this will reduce about a half of size this folder consumption

IF you mean: --disable-application-cache then to the best of my knowledge that disables all caching, so basically starting fresh each time with 0 cookies so requiring login each time, as the queue of browser actions could mean you process one like for acc_1 then a follow for acc_2 then a follow for acc_1, then a comment acc_3 etc, it would mean a lot of logins.

Unless you know of a way to keep cookies and somehow ignore the other 10s of gb that chrome likes to store
