That didn't work for me. I went to Go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver and there was no option for Spoken.
I tried Settings > Accessibility > Speech > Voice and selected the default Siri. There was a check mark where I downloaded the Moira voice without an option to delete it.
DCarlson93,
Understood. It would appear that there is no longer an option to manually remove Siri voices from the device storage. Siri voices generally do not take up a large amount of device storage that would impact your overall storage negatively, and they store under the 'Other' category in iPhone storage. The 'Other' category is managed by iOS and your operating system will automatically free up space from this category as it see's the need to when your device is low on storage. More on that here: How to check the storage on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Have you followed all other suggestions within that article above, to help you free up other items that are taking up larger amounts of space on your device? We'd like to make sure we help you with freeing up storage, if that is your main goal.
Otherwise, you can leave feedback for Apple on the limitation of manually deleting additional Siri voices here: Product Feedback - Apple
If you'd like more help with storage, just let us know.
Regards.
Hey DCarlson93,
Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities! We understand you'd like to know if and how you can remove downloaded voices for Siri on your iPhone. We can help.
As quoted from within: Adjust voice and speed for VoiceOver and Speak Screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch,
"Remove a downloaded voice
You can't delete the Siri voices for your country or region. You can change the language and country or region settings to delete some Siri voices, but at least one of the Siri voices for your country or region will download automatically.
You can remove enhanced-quality voices and voices you have downloaded. Here's how:
Go to Settings > Accessibility > VoiceOver and tap Spoken Content.
Tap Voice, then tap the voice that you want to remove.
Tap Edit.
Tap , then tap Delete. Or swipe left to delete."
Best regards.
Thank you for that. I freed up some storage but wasn't able to delete the extra Siri voice. We would also like the option to see the filepaths of our iPhones without the use of a 3rd party software. It's something basic and a feature available in Androids. iTunes is good for backing up an iPhone but not a file management app.
