Prunegram is a Telegram cleaner tool that helps you declutter your account. It scans your chats, identifies inactive groups, dead bots, muted conversations, and scam channels — then lets you remove them in bulk.

How does Prunegram clean my Telegram?

Prunegram connects through Telegram's official API to scan your chat list. It categorizes chats by activity, type, and health — then gives you smart recommendations on what to clean. You choose what to keep and what to remove.

Is Prunegram safe to use?

Yes. Prunegram uses Telegram's official API and never stores your messages or contacts. Your data stays on your device. We don't have access to your chat content — only metadata like chat names and activity dates.

Can I delete multiple Telegram chats at once?

Yes — that's one of Prunegram's main features. After scanning, you can select multiple chats across categories and leave or delete them all at once, instead of doing it one by one.

Does Prunegram work on desktop?

Prunegram runs as a Telegram Mini App, so it works on any device where you use Telegram — including phones, tablets, and desktop. Just open it from the @prunegrambot in Telegram.

Scanning is free and unlimited. To perform bulk cleanup actions (mass leave groups, delete chats), you can get a 72-hour pass or lifetime unlimited access. The first 500 users get a special launch price.

Telegram Storage Full? How to Free Up Space

Updated February 2026

Telegram can quietly eat gigabytes of your device storage. Every photo, video, GIF, and file from every group and channel you've ever been in gets cached locally. Here's how to reclaim that space.

Why Telegram Uses So Much Storage

Unlike WhatsApp, which downloads media immediately, Telegram streams media and caches it locally as you view it. The problem is that these cached files add up fast:

Group chats with hundreds of members sharing photos and videos daily
Channels that post media-heavy content multiple times per day
Files and documents received in conversations
Stickers, GIFs, and voice messages from active chats
Media from groups you joined months ago and forgot about

It's not uncommon for Telegram to use 5-15 GB of storage on a phone that's been active for a year or more.

How to Check Telegram Storage Usage

Before cleaning, see exactly how much space Telegram is using:

On Mobile (iOS / Android)

Open Telegram → Settings
Tap "Data and Storage"
Tap "Storage Usage"
Wait for Telegram to calculate — you'll see total usage and a breakdown by chat

On Desktop

Open Telegram Desktop → Settings
Click "Advanced"
Under "Data and Storage," click "Manage local storage"

Method 1: Clear Telegram Cache

The fastest way to free space. Clearing cache removes downloaded media from your device without deleting messages — the media still exists in the cloud and re-downloads if you open it again.

Go to Settings → Data and Storage → Storage Usage
Tap "Clear Telegram Cache"
Choose what to clear: photos, videos, files, music, or everything
Confirm and wait — this can take a minute for large caches

Pro tip: Set the "Keep Media" option to auto-delete cached files after 3 days, 1 week, or 1 month. This prevents the cache from growing out of control. Find it in Settings → Data and Storage → Storage Usage → Keep Media.

Method 2: Clear Storage from Specific Chats

Some chats use far more storage than others. In the Storage Usage screen, Telegram shows which chats are the biggest offenders. You can clear media from individual chats without leaving them:

In Storage Usage, scroll to see chats sorted by size
Tap on a chat to see its breakdown (photos, videos, files)
Select the media types you want to clear
Tap "Clear" to remove cached media from just that chat

Method 3: Leave Inactive Groups and Channels

Cache clearing is a temporary fix — if you stay in media-heavy groups, the storage fills up again. The real solution is to leave groups and channels you no longer read.

This is where the cleanup gets tedious manually. You need to scroll through your chat list, identify which groups are inactive or irrelevant, and leave them one by one.

Tools like Prunegram automate this — they scan your chat list, identify inactive groups, dead bots, and muted chats, then let you leave them in bulk. This stops new media from caching in the first place.

Stop Storage Bloat at the Source

Clearing cache treats the symptom. Leaving dead groups treats the cause. Prunegram finds the groups silently eating your storage and lets you clean them up in bulk — directly inside Telegram.

Prevent Telegram Storage Problems

Set "Keep Media" to 1 week — cached files auto-delete after 7 days, keeping storage manageable
Disable auto-download for groups — go to Settings → Data and Storage → Auto-Download Media and turn off downloads for groups
Leave media-heavy channels — if you don't actively read a channel, it's just filling your cache
Monthly cache clearing — set a reminder to clear cache once a month
Use Telegram's "Save to Downloads" — explicitly save files you want to keep instead of relying on cache
