Free space in memory

Memory › Storage shows how much space memory takes in this browser and helps you free it. Sizes are AWFlow’s own measures; Can free is an estimate.

The Storage tab

• A bar splits memory by content: text, tool results, reasoning, regenerated answers, build snapshots, attachments, search index.
• Four tiles: Aria & quick chats (size, number of chats, share taken by tool results), Workflow conversations (they grow with every run), Facts (and how many have no owner), and Easy to free (what slimming and clearing orphans would free now).
• Filters: Largest first, Easy to free, Not opened in 90 days, No owner and Workflow deleted.
• A table lists each conversation with its size, what’s in it, when it was last opened and what it can free.

1. 1 Step 1:Pick a filter Easy to free lists what slimming frees right away; Largest first and Not opened in 90 days help too.
2. 2 Step 2:Select the conversations Tick each one, or the box in the header for all shown. A bar shows how many are selected and their size.
3. 3 Step 3:Slim Removes heavy data and keeps every message. The button shows what it frees.
4. 4 Step 4:Or Archive Exports them to an .awmem file, then removes them from this browser.
5. 5 Step 5:Or Delete Removes them for good. The button shows the space it frees. Check: the storage total at the top goes down.

Numbered areas in the screenshot: 1. Filters, such as Easy to free; 2. Select a conversation; 3. Slim; 4. Archive; 5. Delete.

Clear orphans appears when conversations or facts are left without an owner.

Slim, archive and delete

Action	What it does	What you keep
Slim	Removes heavy data the agent no longer needs: tool result payloads (a one-line summary is kept), build snapshots except the last 3, and regenerated answers you didn’t pick. You can Export a full copy first.	Every message, which tools ran, the summary. The conversation stays readable.
Archive	Saves the conversations to an .awmem file (optionally with a passphrase), then removes them from this browser.	A file you can import again.
Delete	Removes the conversations. Workflows that use them start with an empty memory. Can’t be undone.	Nothing.
Clear orphans	Removes conversations and facts whose agent, team or workflow was deleted.	Shared memory keys and anything a workflow still uses.
