Description NIk 2022-03-26 18:02:35 UTC 
SUMMARY
See title. The archiving feature is completely broken and apparently has been broken/half-broken since 2007(!!!). I mean I know RSS is not exactly a trendy topic in 2022, but that bug (or any bug) should not be present for that long

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Fetch news from a source (in my case Google News RSS) with archive set to a certain time limit or deactivated 
2. Close the app
3. Open it again

OBSERVED RESULT
All old articles are there

EXPECTED RESULT
Articels are gone based on set archive options

I see this too, on Akregator Version 5.19.3 (21.12.3) natively installed, on UbuntuDDE Remix 22.04.  Set archiving to "disabled", quit and relaunch Akregator, disk used under ~/.local/share/akregator still is enormous.

Also, in Settings / Configure Akregator / Advanced you set Archive Backend to "No archive" instead of "Metakit", the setting reverts back the next time you quit and launch again; setting is not persistent.
