Here's the translation:

When I send images, etc., that, for example, have 500 MB of storage, and then delete them, they don't seem to be anywhere in the app's cache because the app then has 500 MB more storage. This sometimes causes the app to occupy 10 GB of storage on my device even though I've deleted all the images from it. Unfortunately, I haven't found any way in the app to manually clear the cache, so I always have to delete the entire app and reinstall it.

The second problem is that sometimes sending images to the laptop fails, and the app makes a sound, a kind of beep. After that, I can't transfer any images or videos at all until I delete and reinstall the app.

Otherwise, it's a top app, something even Apple hasn't managed to do yet. My respect to the developers 👍🏽

I also ran into the problem with the app just beeping when I try to send files to my laptop (running Arch Linux with git master KDE Connect), and reinstalling the app on the iOS side (iPhone 12 running iOS 17.6 and version 0.3.0 (9) of the app) works around it.

Although, in my case I think I only ran into the issue because the laptop side KDE Connect crashed due to bad configuration on my part when sending a file from iOS the first time, and the beeps happen ever since that interrupted attempt. Also, I noticed that even though sending files to my laptop stopped working with those beeps sending files to my Android phone still worked.
