Content item purging

One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing one or more programs for execution by one or more processors, the one or more programs comprising instructions for:

• detecting a triggering event for reclaiming storage space on an electronic device;
• in response to detecting the triggering event, identifying a content item entirely stored on the electronic device that qualifies for reclaiming storage space on the electronic device;
• wherein the identifying the content item that qualifies for reclaiming storage space on the electronic device is based on determining that the content item is previously synchronized with a remote data store and is not modified at the electronic device since the content item is previously synchronized with the remote data store;
• wherein determining that the content item is not modified at the electronic device since the content item is previously synchronized with the remote data store is based on determining that there are no changes to the content item queued at the electronic device for later synchronization to a content management system;
• based at least in part on the identifying the content item entirely stored on the electronic device that qualifies for reclaiming storage space on the electronic device, reclaiming storage space on the electronic device by replacing the content item entirely stored on the electronic device with a smaller sized version of the content item that is entirely stored on the electronic device;
• wherein the smaller sized version of the content item is either:
• (a) a truncated version of the content item entirely stored on the electronic device, or (b) a downsampled version of the content item entirely stored on the electronic device.
