Bug ID: 508127
Summary: KDE Connect does not remove old (no longer paired)
kpeoplevcards cache, polluting contact-lookup/metadata
for SMS
Classification: Applications
Product: kdeconnect
Version First 25.04.3
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: common

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I've unpaired old devices that I no longer use and noticed KDE Connect hasn't
been clearing old device contact synchronizations from
`~/.local/share/kpeoplevcard/kdeconnect-*`. Stale records no longer applicable
(some contacts change numbers, etc) will show up because of it.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an old device with synchronized contacts.
2. Pair a new device and synchronize contacts.
2. Remove/unpair old device.
3. KDE Connect SMS will still show unpaired old device contacts (in addition to
new device's contacts that may or may not have adjusted names or new numbers,
etc).
OBSERVED RESULT
Stale old devices in `~/.local/share/kpeoplevcard/kdeconnect-*`, a lot of old,
stale records polluting contact-lookup and metadata for KDE Connect SMS.
EXPECTED RESULT
Remove old kpeoplevcard caches.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
