Hi, I installed Drupal (6.13) via "Fantastico" in a free web hosting last week (Byethost). Now I have a site with a few hundreds of hits, but I noticed the size of my cache_form table is already 25.7 MB and growing fast, so soon I'll reach the 50MB limit of my free SQL database. I tried using the "clear cached data" button and setting the minimum cache lifetime to 5 min, but it doesn't seems like anything is being deleted from the table at all, it only keeps growing.
I tried installing CacheRouter module to see if it can fix the problem, but nothing changed either (although the configuration menu of the module isn't appearing, but I don't care about this module as long as I can fix the cache).

Thanks in advance.

So no one else is having this problem?
I downloaded "Cache browser" module and I'm using it to delete my cache when my SQL database is reaching its limits. Since the cache it's not automatically deleted it seems like I'll need to do it manually each two days.

same here, already got 300MB :( I used to trancate all cache_xy tables when doing db-dumps
but i'm a little confused about this: http://drupal.org/node/512026
is it save to truncate it or isn't it?
