Title:
  Periodically remove very old thumbnails or cap thumbnail cache size to
  avoid filling up disk with thumbnails

Status in kio-extras package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The cross-desktop thumbnail spec contains no provision for removing
  thumbnails, and as a result, the thumbnail cache (~/.cache/thumbnails)
  can grow without limit. For some users with large numbers of images,
  the cache can wind up taking up quite a lot of space and even causing
  free space issues. We should consider setting a maximum size for the
  cache, or removing old thumbnails not accessed in the last few years,
  or something like that.

  More information, including proposed cleanup scripts, can be found in
  the following upstream KDE bug report that was reported to track this
  issue: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=79943

This is the wrong project for that bug. The KDE thumbnailer has nothing
to do with this thumbnailer (which does enforce a size limit).
