Description
Actual behaviour
I'm using owncloud 3.0.4. I was having many picture and videos to upload to my own server. I have less than 100 to upload but the disk space on my phone is full. Owncloud is using 64Go of storage. When I'm checking the storage settings of the app, all those 64Go is use on the "data" side not the cache.
Expected behaviour
Owncloud should find a way to reduce this disk space on the phone
What shoud I do to clear the disk space? Uninstalling the app?
Not sure what other information I should provide so feel free to ping me.
Environment data

Research direction
Start by reproducing the storage growth on Android 13 with a Galaxy S22, ownCloud app 3.0.4, and a batch of photo and video uploads. Inspect Android app storage and the app's data during and after uploading to determine what persists outside the cache. Done means uploads no longer consume excessive device data and users can clear any temporary data without uninstalling.
