Notes CloudKit Assets cache folder - ~40GB

What could be possibly taking 40GB?

I have about 300 notes in iCloud, some have screenshots (probably 10% of all the notes).

Only about 20 notes are frequently accessed - others are dormant and haven't been accessed in months.

What can be done to force the native Notes app manage its own cache in a more efficient way?

Any tip is appreciated.

Folder:

~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes/Data/Library/Caches/CloudKit/ac2aae8f33f514e91c627eca98e9a0779157a4a5/Assets

iCloud Is Double Counting my Storage Usage In OSX 13.2.1 Hiya I keep my music library of around 400 GB in iCloud with optimise storage switched on. However this is not reflected accurately within the storage application on macOS. It's counting my iCloud usage separately to my on disk cash and reflecting on both within the storage usage, I will illustrate this with screenshots to follow. It appears this issue has been known about for a while and to me is quite serious because the storage app should accurately reflect how much space is left on the desk. Does Apple have any indication as to whether they know about this problem and if it's on the roadmap to be fixed? As you will see in my screenshots, I actually have around 500 GB left on my disk however the storage app exposes a lower figure. Upon investigation the difference appears to be the size of my iCloud drive. Screenshots attached. N.B. please note the file size of the iCloud note in storage versus the music note, which is the same set of files.... It's a technicality, but it's bugging me and it's wrong and has been wrong for quite a few versions now. Many thanks in advance G

Files get deleted randomly on their own This is probably the fourth time this has happened to me. Few documents in the Files app disappear on their own without any trace and explanation. They are not even in the recently deleted tab This is very irritating especially when these documents are your notes and you really need them because exams are around. Any way to recover these files or atleast to prevent something like this from happening in future.
