Thumbnail folder accumulated 8gigs!

Newbie
I just found out my DMCI/Thumbnails folder had accumulated 8GIGS of data!

Is there a way to have this auto delete after not being used for X amount of time?

also, I use ES file explorer, on advice of this forum. and it didn't, and does not, see thumbnails folder as existing at all! I had to use the stock android 'my files' to delete the darn things.

is there a way to make ES file be able to see EVERYTHING? (its not like it was a 'hidden' folder or anything...

Hope this helps someone
I have a galaxy s2x t989, rooted, in case you're wondering.
 
My Files is a Samsung application (there is no stock Android file manager). By default, it lets you see virtually everything.

For ES File Explorer, you'll need to move up a level. The starting directories for My Files and ES on the S2 (which has more partitions that modern phones) are different. Moving up a level will expose the files that you see with My Files.
