Is it the cache or the logs?
I freed up somewhere around 350mb by uninstalling / reinstalling the wiim app, and it seemed to be mostly log files.
My old android tablet is back to being 'dangerously low on space'.

If you click clear cache the data will not be lost. To clear data, you need to click clear data, the application will return to the state after installation. I just cleared the cache 307 MB, everything is fine.
This is very similar to what I see and honestly I don't see anything problematic here. Most importantly I cannot see the amount of storage growing just due to app updates.
Most of the data is stored in the WiiM's internal storage, some other is stored in the WiiM Home app.
It's relatively easy to distinguish if you have more that one WiiM device, just by comparison. It also helps to remember that WiiM do not require you to use something like a WiiM account.
But this might be a good idea for a Tech Tuesday, @RyanWithWiim: What is stored on your WiiM, what's in the app?

My user data and cache are fairly reasonable.it's not my field...
in any case I purged the "data", with practically no impact... and saved a lot of space...

I can't remember. It was when I wanted to revert to an older version that WiiM had allowed me to download to check something. Probably sometime in the last couple of months.
I took some screenshots of the app folders contents before and after clearing the app cache and data. Seems to be a mixture of logs and downloaded album artwork. If I get time, I’ll tabulate and post my findings.
as a reminder my case was particular and interesting on this point...because it is only used in radio flow without use of the display (no data)... and that for example since yesterday and the purging of data and some re-adjustments...while in use, remains stable at 11MB of data and 2MB of cache....
but hey I just invite you to observe over time after the updates of wiim home on the data storage side.... your feedback will be interesting... but better, maybe well before wiim will be able to enlighten us on this point??
in my particular case, I know now what to do now from time to time after several updates ;-)

Here's an example for you, my friend.
Updating from WiiM Home App 3.0.4 to WiiM Home App 3.0.6 on Xiaomi HyperOS 1.0.13 (Android 14).
There is absolutely no growth in Cache sice or User data sice due to the update. Nothing at all. Your assumption that WHA updates would result in superfluous growth of memory usage is simply not backed up by facts.
