Does Joplin have any kind of "Garbage Collection" function that periodically checks to see if resources are referenced in any of the users notes and deletes ones that are never or no longer referenced?

Please check your note history settings:

Resources cleanup (images)

Hi, I am new to Joplin and would like to have a clear explaination on how the cleanup process works. I mean I've read in several posts that Joplin does a resources cleanup every 10 days (or 2 days in older post). I am running a Portable version of Joplin (version 1.7.11 for Windows) and have made some tests: Creating a Note on 19/2 Adding screenshot in the note removing the screenshot in the note And as of today 1st of March, the resources associated to the screenshots are still in the ~res…

I don't know much about SQL, but I would think that enough of this would also slow down reading and writing to the database, particularly on weak/low power devices such as mobile.

Maximum database size is far above what can be used effectively in a note app Implementation Limits For SQLite (Severeal terabytes of data in the SQLLite database).
