Storage & Data

How disk storage works on your managed OpenClaw bot, including auto-expansion, alerts, and cleanup.

Storage Overview

Every ClawBlitz bot runs with dedicated persistent storage. Your bot uses this storage to keep conversation history, skill data, cron job configurations, and cached files.

5 GB

Expands as needed

What Uses Disk Space

Sessions & Conversations

Every chat session is stored on disk. Long-running conversations with many messages will accumulate over time. This is typically the largest consumer of storage.

Skill Data

Some skills store local data — for example, downloaded files, cached API responses, or generated reports. Skills like file management or data processing may use more storage than others.

Cron Job Data

Cron job configurations and execution logs are stored on disk. Each job is very small (a few KB), but execution logs can grow over time with frequent schedules.

Cache

OpenClaw maintains a local cache for performance. This includes temporary files, model context windows, and intermediate computation results. Cache can usually be safely cleared.

Auto-Expansion

ClawBlitz automatically expands your storage when your disk usage hits 90%. Your bot starts with 5 GB, and storage auto-expands as needed so you never have to worry about running out of space.

Default allocation 5 GB
Auto-expand trigger 90% usage
Behavior Auto-expands as needed

Storage Alerts

ClawBlitz monitors your storage usage and sends email alerts at key thresholds:

Warning — 80% Usage

You'll receive an email notification suggesting you review your storage usage. At this point, consider running the self-service cleanup or checking what's using space in your dashboard.

Critical — 95% Usage

A critical alert is sent. You should free up space using the dashboard cleanup tool or by asking your bot to delete old data. If storage is completely full, your bot may stop functioning until space is freed.

Self-Service Cleanup

The ClawBlitz dashboard includes a one-click cleanup tool that helps you reclaim disk space:

What the cleanup removes:

  • • Chat sessions older than 30 days
  • • Cached files and temporary data

What the cleanup preserves:

  • • Recent sessions (last 30 days)
  • • All cron job configurations
  • • Skill configurations and integration tokens
  • • Your system prompt (SOUL.md)

To run cleanup, go to your dashboard and click Clean Up Storage. You'll be asked to type CLEAR MY OLD DATA to confirm. The process takes a few seconds and your bot remains available during cleanup.

Checking Your Storage Usage

You can view your current storage usage at any time from the dashboard:

  1. 1. Go to your ClawBlitz dashboard
  2. 2. Look at the Overview tab
  3. 3. Your storage usage is displayed as a progress bar showing used space vs. total allocation

Backups

ClawBlitz performs nightly backups of all bot data to object storage. Backups are managed by the ClawBlitz admin team and are used for disaster recovery. If you need to restore data from a backup, contact support at [email protected].
