-files are ignored and new files are downloaded and cached from the external registry.

+# Reduce Dependency Proxy Storage **(FREE)**
+
+There's no automatic removal process for blobs. Unless you delete them manually, they're stored
+indefinitely. Since this impacts your
+[storage usage quota](../../usage_quotas.md),
+it's important that you clear unused items from the cache. This page covers several options for
+doing so.
+
+## Check Dependency Proxy Storage Use
+
+The Usage Quotas page (**Settings > Usage Quotas > Storage**) displays storage usage for Packages, which includes the Dependency Proxy,
+however, the storage is not yet displayed.

+## Use the API to clear the cache
