Just hit this exact same issue. Feel like I’m being punished for having my own music collection and being forced to get Apple Music and stream. I don’t want to do that, I enjoy having my own music collection that I manage.
this better be corrected as there’s no justification to count it twice.
"Reaching out to engineering team because we are seeing this across the internet". They're gonna call me back tomorrow. Hopefully there will be a fix for this nonsense soon.
Has anyone found out how to get rid of the double up synched content on the new IOS 17?
Upgrading to 17.0.1 seems to have done it for me—although the challenge was first clearing enough space to accommodate the update.
Downloaded 17.02 but still have the annoying double up with synched content. Has blocked my whole phone. Painful
Interesting. Didn’t work for me
Someone on another forum has noted:
One interesting thing I noticed: while this shows up as duplicates in the iPhone Storage page, you get the actual free space in General > About > Available.
Yep. That just confirms, in my case, I lost 6.6+GB of storage with this stupid Synced Content issue.
sparksd -
Your test showed the same results as my test. I used iMazing as well. Problem on both an iPhone SE Gen 2 and iPod Air 4th Gen.
And it's only music that does this - photos and videos copied over the same way are not factored in.
So why is the synched content consuming so much storage that I get message that I don’t have enough space to install the 17.0.1 uodate
Safe to say you’re having a different issue then. In my case the iPhone storage bar chart is showing a different free space than the ‘about’ page is (as I quoted above).
So was mine. Look at the screen shots above.
Dozens? How about 294.69 GB of “synced content”?
The delta between the "About" and storage bar chart on my phone is significantly less than the stated usage by Sync Data; the delta between the two measures is 4GB while Sync Data is 15.8GB.
You're repeatedly mistaking your experience, with that of other people.
