Settings → Storage (Admin) shows how much media your organization uses and lets you control retention and cleanup. This is the user-facing page; the underlying backend is documented in Storage configuration.

​
Usage

The page reports total storage used against your plan’s limit, so you can see how close you are to the cap.

​
Retention

Choose how long uploaded media is kept:
  • Never - do not auto-delete media.
  • 30 / 90 days / 1 year - delete media older than the chosen window.
Retention is enforced by a background cleanup workflow (requires RUN_CRON=true on self-hosted instances). The cleanup skips profile pictures, OAuth-app pictures, and media still referenced by queued posts.

​
Orphaned media

Enable clean orphans to also remove media that is no longer attached to any post.
The self-hosted equivalent of the retention window is the MEDIA_RETENTION_DAYS environment variable. Settings here take precedence over the default.
