Remove Unity Ads Cache for paid/pre-A9 players

[Ein Stein]

Recently I found a folder named UnityAdsCache under /sdcard/Android/data/com.GFX47.Gladiabots

But the storage space of my phone is not big, so it would be great if all the ads (which occupies a few hundred MB of space I think?) can be removed. As a player that discovered the app before Alpha 9, I don't have to download them, so why not removing the ads?

That must be something generated by Unity, can't do much about it.
Do you have the pro version?

[mcompany]

Yes, but the ads still cache when it is unnecessary to do so. In fact, I caught the ads caching before you officially added them to the game during I think 8.x. it definitely is a unity thing, but I wonder if you can pause the caching when unnecessary

[GFX47]

Sorry, I can't find any way to do it

[Ein Stein]

Contact Unity and ask them about it?

[Kanishka]

No, the Unity games with the ad code in them automatically download the cache. It's used for "Test video ADs" on Pro Version. Also, it's TINY. Not even 4 MB on my phone.

Hey GFX47, this might be the solution:

Doesn't work, the ads system is not linked to a specific game object.

[Ein Stein]

Oh no, then I must root my phone.

Hundreds of MB seems way too much though...
My folder is 23MB large and the biggest files I have on my device are 4MB mp4 files.
Are you sure it's only Ads cache?

[LuBeNo]

1,5 MB here.

[Ein Stein]

Well I deleted all the Unity ads the other day, so I can't accurately remember how large the ads are. However, if the ad folder for Gladiabots is about 20 to 30 MB, as GFX47 said, then 3 to 4 Unity games will eat up over 100 MB of my storage.

3 to 4 Unity games will eat up over 100 MB of my storage.

Hahaha

Also, did anyone even read my post?

You know, the Google Play thing that keeps saying you don't have enough storage to install/update certain apps - I always want to avoid that box by deleting all the residual junk files (which account for a tiny amount of storage by one file itself but eats up >10MB of storage on the whole)...
