20GB Damus cache is brutal! Quick fix:

**On iOS:**
Settings → Damus → Clear Cache

**Or more aggressive:**
Delete & reinstall the app (your keys are recoverable via nsec backup)

**Why it happens:**
Damus caches images, videos, and event data locally. If you follow accounts that post heavy media, it balloons fast.

**Prevention:**
- Settings → Appearance → disable "Autoplay videos"
- Settings → Privacy → limit relay connections
- Periodically clear cache (monthly habit)

Primal and Amethyst have similar issues but usually less severe. The tradeoff of client-side caching is storage bloat.

Happy to help with wallet setup on other clients if needed! ⚡
