To stop the hard drive from filling up on an enrolled device, the device checks once every minute and removes caches and profiles, from oldest to newest, until there is at least 2 GB of free space on the device. This behavior is not controlled by a policy setting, it automatically occurs for all enrolled devices.
Caches and profiles for currently signed-in users are not deleted. If there is only one account on the device, it’s never removed to increase available memory. If there are multiple accounts on the device, the account of the current signed-in user is never removed. Also, the signed-in user can manage disk space.
Application-specific items are deleted in parallel with ChromeOS items.
