Quest 1 - "Your Headset is running low on memory".

As of recently, I've started to run low on memory on my Quest 1 when I was playing VRChat, leading me to being unable to connect to worlds unless I joined them multiple times, or even be punted from worlds with the message of "You were sent back to your homeworld because your system ran out of memory". Originally, I assumed it was a VRC client-side issue until I received a notification on my headset in the main menu that stated "Your headset is running low on memory. Some features may not be available". 

Is there some inherent way to clear memory on the headset? I'm fairly certain that storage space and memory are separate because I currently have 36 GB out of the 64 GB the headset possesses completely free. For clarification, I didn't experience any of these issues prior, so I'm fairly certain that it's not just an issue that's commonly prevalent. Does anyone have a particular fix for this? Any help would be much appreciated.

Try looking at this: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest2/comments/niuqnd/ive_run_out_of_memory_mainly_from_vrchat_world... even though it says Quest 2 on the url, people talk about quest 1 issues of the same subject. If nothing works, I don't know anything other than to continue trying to load into a world up to 3 times before joining off someone else.

No, I usually use wireless headphones.

Okay? That's nice, I suppose?

I've been getting the same message on my Quest 1 recently. Would be interested if there is a fix for this as well. Seems the RAM in the headset is being used up by something. Wasn't an issue until a recent update so makes me think there might be a bug somewhere causing an issue where memory (RAM) is not being cleared.
