HELP Nomad is uncontrollably consuming my device’s memory

THE PLATFORM: iPad
NOMAD APP VERSION: 2.12

After the update, Nomad started uncontrollably consuming memory on my iPad and now weighs more than 100 gigabytes. I tried unloading the app, deleted unnecessary models, turned off renderers, and reduced the number of polygons in the models, but the app hasn’t reduced in size at all. What should I do? This problem only appeared after the update.:sob::sob::sob: At the same time, the 3D models themselves weigh no more than 100–150 megabytes. I deleted most of the saved 3D models, and there aren’t that many left, so this is clearly some kind of update error. Also, I can’t export the files or save the render — when I try to do this, the app crashes to the desktop.

when I try to do this, the app crashes to the desktop.

It has been solved on 2.12.

As for memory, in the iOS Files app, where is the memory?
I’m assuming you change the history storage limit (normally limited at 1gb per project)

I meant the memory on the iPad itself; I even had to delete some apps so that my iPad would work properly. I didn’t increase the history storage limit and didn’t mess with the settings in any way. After I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it, it’s now version 2.12.1.

I was expecting your to go in the iOS files app to see where the 100gb went (which folder, etc).

But now that you uninstalled the app, everything should be gone (iOS deletes everything).

I didn’t delete it, unload the application.I’m sorry if I express myself in a way that’s not clear, my English is very poor.

Nothing that could weigh so many gigabytes

Thanks!

Note that you can long press a folder and click this option to see the total used.

I was thinking the “data” folder since it saves the history for each project.
By default up to 1GB per project, and you seem to duplicate lot of projects.
So maybe disable history saving if you don’t need it (or reduce storage limit, that’s 1GB per project). Note that you need to resave each project so that history on disk for this project is deleted.
(if it’s too bothersome, you can delete the whole “data” folder, but only if you don’t use autosave)

8,43gb

I edited my previous message, make sure to read it.

Yes it’s likely that, if you got 100 projects with maxed out history for each, that’s 100GB.

This is exactly what I was talking about — the history is disabled and not saved, but the app still takes up a huge amount of space

Maybe I should really just save all my models to files and then delete the app and reinstall it to reset this bug? But I’m not sure if that will work

No, just do as I said earlier.

  1. First look at the size of the “data” folder first, not “projects”! (Your previous message showed “projects” instead of “data”
  2. Then if it “data” is indeed around 100GB, simply delete it and restart Nomad.
  3. If “data” is nowhere around 100gb then I have no idea, so yes maybe backup your “projects” and reinstall Nomad

Please read carefully what I say (use ai for translation, it should work perfectly)

Thank you for your help, it seems I’ll really have to save the files and uninstall the app. Something very strange is happening. I’ll write back if the problem is resolved or not once I’ve done this

Ah indeed it wasn’t like I thought.
I have no idea then.

Make sure to copy/move your files outside the Nomad folder if you uninstall.
iOS deletes everything related to the app.

Once again, thank you very much for your help​:growing_heart::growing_heart::growing_heart: removing the app solved the problem

I was having this issue ever since the update as well. Glad to know I’m not alone, but also really bummed!
