Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/NickeManarin/ScreenToGif/issues/212

I make a lot of gifs, all gifs in HQ with a lot of frames, so my TEMP folder for only 1 day can raise up to 1 GB or more. That's too much. I think it would be great if there would be an option "Clean TEMP folder right after closing program".

Thanks!

It's a little bit tricky to implement this. ScreenToGif accepts multiple instances and even if the Editor window is closed, the Encoder can stay opened (if there's any active encoding).

This feature is already in Windows 10. It is called "Storage Sense" ;-)

I added the option for automatically erasing projects, with a configurable maximum age in days. For example, you can set to erase projects older than 1 day.

Also, the app will warn about the free space.
