Local Storage/File Download isn't dumped about webclient HOT 4 CLOSED

We could add it, and will consider it, but a setting to decrease this expiry-threshold would still involve that you come back to the site, while a setting to delete this cache file once the download fully completed won't be reliably since we don't get a notification from the browser when this happened.

Usually this cache is something you shouldn't worry about, even in the case of running out of storage space when downloading new files we will automatically delete files older than 5 minutes, but if even so you want to forcefully delete them you may find more convenient opening the web-console and executing M.clearFileSystemStorage().

Other thing you could also do - and what i personally use - is having the filesystem storage/cache folder into a RAMDisk, this way the contents will get automatically deleted whenever you reboot the computer, and beyond this you will also be speeding up by 10x the throughput saving data to disk, plus extending the lifetime of your SSD, or you could also have a cronjob/scheduler-task running to perform a cleanup whenever Chrome is not running.

Hope this helps.

They get deleted in two days, this gives time in case they need to be re-downloaded, although if you don't come back to the website then there is no way we can clear them up for you.

Is it possible to have a setting that can change this duration?

Ahh, thanks for the web-console function! But wouldn't you be able to detect if the cache was successfully deleted by double-checking if the file still exists? That was just something that I thought off. Thanks!
