Abstract

A processing device receives a first notice after a first time period, the first notice indicating that an amount of available free space on a storage component is below a first free space buffer threshold. The processing device determines a first amount of data to delete from an unsolicited content storage area of the storage component. The processing device receives a second notice after a second time period, the second notice indicating that the amount of available free space on the storage component is below the first free space buffer threshold. The processing device then determines a second amount of data to delete from the unsolicited content storage area, where the second amount is larger than the first amount.
