How do I prune my Lemmy instance? (forum.yunohost.org)

Specifically, how do I safely and properly clean up the '/lemmy/magick/' folder? Mine contains 44,259 files taking 405GiB in total. That is the vast majority of my humble server's 466GiB capacity. I am the only user on my instance so I don't know their source.

0.4.1 is pretty old, but the link you provided leads to a manifest.toml that seems to indicate 0.5.17.

pict-rs introduced temp file cleanup in 0.5.10, but that might not have cleaned up old media if you only recently upgraded.

from a short look at the repo i didn't see where /lemmy/magick/ is defined, so i'm not sure if that is indeed the pict-rs temp folder.
