why does memory usage keep increasing despite minimal downloads

After I got my Jolla in December 2013 the indicated memory usage kept rising with time even though I was not downloading large files -- my main downloads have been ebooks not videos! The situation became so bad that the indicated usage equalled the capacity of 13.7GB and all apps stopped working.

A factory reset and upgrading back to the latest version of Sailfish brought the usage indication back to between 2 and 3GB but the indicated usage has been steadily rising again until it now shows 7.1GB.

Is there a cure for this erosion of free memory or am I going to be cursed with the need to do another factory reset in two or three months, with all the upgrading and reinstalling of apps entailed?
