Prune pict-rs on local instance? (lemmy.world)

I'm running a small instance just for myself and a friend. We basically use it to access the Lemmy fediverse.

I was under the impression that our instance would not download imagery that was not hosted on it but the pict-rs "files" directory ended up with 45 gig of data which ultimately filled up the VPS storage space.

Is there a command that I can automate to prune this regularly or does anyone have a solution?

Sadly not yet. Hopefully this will be improved in the future.

However, this sounds like you used one of these follow everything bots, which is just a bad idea as it results in these kind of issues.

I did but "all" is useless without it and having to use a separate website to discover communities just doesn't make sense.

I think at some point I will figure something out.
