Safe to remove attachments from /attachments/?

[cuu508]

I've recently added --ignore-attachments to the signal-cli daemon options. But I see there are a number attachments already received in the data directory, /attachments/ subdirectory. Is it safe to remove them from the filesystem, or could it cause issues?

And, semi-related, I've also added --no-receive-stdout flag. Is there anything else I can / should do, to minimize the amount of received data that gets stored on the local system?

Yes attachment files can be deleted anytime.

There's another option to prevent receiving story messages, if you're not interested in receiving those, but with the ignore attachments options those aren't stored anyway.
