Thunderbird beta storage use of nearly 30GB
Hi, I installed thunderbird beta around version 93 and since then the memory usage on my computer increased to take all of the free space when I open TB. Up to 30GB. I would like to get back to a non-beta version but cannot easily since i have old email accounts on it, no longer synchronised (I would not be able to download these emails again). I also guess that transferring the profile would result in the similar 30GB usage. I am now at TB 98 and still have that problem. I have tried the "remove duplicate messages" add-on which doesn't delete everything. I have multiple occurrences of the same emails with possibly altered content. Any way this could be fixed? Thanks a lot!

Okay, the NSTMP folders are temporary during a compaction and are still there because some previous attempt was interrupted. I suggest renaming and starting TB. If all looks well, they can be deleted. That will save a bit over 7 gig. The inbox is almost 2 gig. I suggest compacting it. Please post a screenshot of Local Folders, as that is over 14 gig.

Thanks for your help and patience. How do I unsubscribe? I think I only unsynced.
from main screen, highlight account in left pane, right-click, select subscribe and then untick allmail folder. shut down TB. Log into gmail, click settings, then click labels, and then untick to show allmail in imap. then restart tb and i think you'll be okay - and can then delete any allmail files on pc.
