In case you're a non-admin user and not familiar with what those features are:
Database storage holds all posts that a server has ever seen - everything posted there, everything that's ever passed through the Federated Feed, etc.
Media storage is all the photos, videos, and audio files that have been included in posts - they are stored separately and effectively linked to by their respective posts.

Tootctl clearing is a method of purging old posts or media which originated on other servers and have never been interacted with by anyone on the server doing the clearing - the posts have never been Favorited, Boosted, Bookmarked, or replied to by users on that server.

@Texan_Reverend I do wish that users had an easier way to look at their media storage footprint and potentially bulk-delete posts. Cause you know, love to send memes and dumb images, but at a certain point I kinda want to just get rid of the posts and save the images myself if I think they're worth reposting.
