I can’t delete apple music documents and data it takes 2 GB from my mobile storage.
I deleted the app and it’s documents, what happened is a 30 MB deleted (the app size only).
In previous versions I could select which songs to delete. But with this new version 15.0.1 it lags to empty my storage. and it kept 2 GB of documents and data.
This has taken up 15GB of my storage and there is no way for me to get rid of this unused data. It is really frustrating to have such a large chunk of my storage space stolen like this. Its really disappointing that Apple hasn’t made a fix for this yet.
Didn’t do squat …except waste 1.5 hours of my life, and a few app settings
Same here, 0 songs dow loaded yet, app takes up 3GB.
I understand cache but seriously that much ??? For zero songs downloaded ??
Did you ever find the answer to this day the issue was still there. 9/14/22
No one has a solution just a Me Too complex?
Where is the iTunes_Control folder? Under what directory?
File System -> Media -> iTunes_Control
This is where I found it on iOS 16.0.3
He literally told us how to solve it. You replied to the post outlining how to clear the phantom data.
From other places online discussion is the possible reasons is album art. Hence why deleting those two sub directory contents frees up the space.
hi, try signing into your account with your apple id. i've had the issue and that's how i solved it. simply signing back into my account and waiting a few minutes for it to update.
This isn’t the issues it’s the phantom data that is left behind
Perhaps Apple finally addressed this in the iOS update? All of us that had issues were in ios 15 or up.
You need to turn off Apple Music iCloud syncing in the AM settings. This will free some space already and then if you delete the app - it goes almost to zero.
Once again, the users including me, who are reporting this issue DO NOT have the app installed. Plus others never used the app to begin with.
