# Does Storage Studio clean caches automatically on a schedule?

Yes, if you let it. Cache cleanup is always part of Free Up Space, and Free Up Space can run on its own at your daily run time, outside your Quiet Hours. The popover's status block shows the **Last run** time and whether it was scheduled or manual.

You can also run it yourself at any time with **Clean App Caches** or Run Tuhi. If you'd rather nothing runs automatically, pause automatic actions from the popover.

For scheduling and Quiet Hours, see the [Settings FAQ](https://storagestudio.us/faq/settings/).
