stop downloading a tv show

I am trying to stop a TV show from downloading. I had it on my phone at one time and I don't want it on there anymore. I try to delete it and it loads back on. And to add to that, it seems like it just "tries" to download. it just spins

Howdy ronparritt,


It sounds like a TV show keeps downloading after you delete it. We know how important this is for you, and we will help get you to the right place for answers.


The first thing to try is the steps listed in this support article. These steps can often resolve this type of issue:

If you can't delete your movies or TV shows
Hide the item: Hiding an item removes it from your Library when you're signed in with your Apple ID.
Turn off computer syncing: If you used a USB cable to manually sync movies or TV shows from your Mac or PC to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, you can turn off syncing to remove the content.
• Check if the item is downloaded: If you see the Download icon next to a movie or episode, it's downloaded on your device. If you don't see the Download icon, the movie or episode isn't downloaded.
