Is it possibly to reduce disk space used by gnugpg cache - in some simple way?

Hi there!

My gnugpg cache is using 2.2 GBs. Can I somehow reuse some of that space without engaging in too advanced stuff?

I am pressed between not too much disk space on a side and too little time for system management on the other.

Willing to face consequences :-)

Like wiping some OS from my hard disk in order to make more space available,  and it would NOT be Artix!  That is may main distro.

You would try to move this "cache" somewhere and return it if something fails and delete it if not. Where is placed that cache? I didn't find anything similar. And I think that 2GB is a bit too much anyway. What is GnuPG (you meant GnuPG not gnugpg right?) need to cache except password and keys?

The default location is supposed to be ~/.gnupg
