Thank you for the image.
You could reinstall Music and see what's there. Maybe some podcasts or music that's been placed there by other apps. And then delete it. Maybe that will clean out the data.
For example, I restored my current phone with Migration Assistant (?) from a previous phone. However, there is an app that I did not bother to download to the new phone even though it was on the old phone. That app shows it has 2.8MB of data even though it has never been installed on this phone.
If you have a Mac then you could connect the phone to the Mac and look at its contents with the Finder (assuming a newish Mac OS).
Or you could use iTunes on an older Mac.
Or you could use Mac or PC software that allows viewing the contents of the iPhone eg PhoneView, iMazing etc.
Tried reinstalling, then deleting the app. (The only thing that was on there is the U2). Still there! And we're not talking about a couple of megabytes, we're talking about near Half a gig!😳😳
Don't have a Mac.😐
Will try phoneview, Imazing on my PC.
Also, I absolutely cannot get the auto punctuation to turn off! It puts random periods, commas, and question marks in random spots in the middle of a sentence, no matter how fluidly I speak! Driving me crazy! I've turned it on and off, reset the phone, every possible method! Does anybody out there know what's going on? Should I repost this is a new question?
(I had to, line by line, edit this post to remove all the weird crap!)
Thank you for the image.
If the app has been off-loaded then its data will still be on the device. You could download the Music app and check for music.
Now it’s up to 516 MB!!?? I bought this phone used, unlocked without SIM and restored to basic. I did restore it from a previous phone which did not have Apple Music on it at all
Please post an image of the top third of the screen at Settings > General > iPhone Storage
The app has not been “offloaded”. It has been DELETED, and I have never used Apple Music and have NO
songs!
So I need a more comprehensive and valid answer!
Tap on the 414.9MB and what does it show? Please post an image.
Have you been the only owner of this phone? Did you restore it from a backup of a previous phone?
Just installed latest update 16.2. Now it's back down to 416.6🤨
