There’s no such option!
this is crazy. Have looked around everywhere. No solution! My Apple Maps data is at 7.9 GB!
If you have an iPhone with iOS 17, as the original poster in this thread does, you definitely have that option.
You can also open Maps, tap on your icon in the bottom right corner, then Offline Maps and swipe each map right to left and tap delete.

I have no idea what you mean but, sure, sounds good.
Can I delete Apple Maps only works well if you have a car. I HATE GOOGLE but I have no choice but to use them as I don’t have a car
I’m not trying to back up and factory reset my phone I also do not have the “optimize storage” option you posted about unfortunately
Not sure if people who are still facing the problem saw my July 11 reply. The problem went away for me, and it hasn't so far returned in about 45 days.
Thank you for following up.
Mine has hit 31.16GB (24% of my phone's storage). Are there any updates on how to fix this?!?!?
For me too.. it is taking approx 10GB storage for useless app.
I’m at 7 GB and it keeps growing! Any solution to this???
Please apple answers this! Bcs mine too so annoying, i dont have enough storage’s for ios update
My documents and data are at almost 50GB!! I really wish I could delete this but I’ve tried everything.
Update, to make matters worse, it has continued to grow without the app even being installed! It was 8.04 when I last commented, now it's 11.93. It keeps hogging every bit of space I free up and can barely use the phone. This is extremely frustrating, and I haven't been able to find anything. I guess my next attempt will be to back up, wipe the phone, and restore it because this very much looks like a bug.
I upgraded to 17.5.1, and this problem (Maps' documents and data occupying huge space) has gone away. It has been only 5 minutes, though, since the upgrade, and I am bracing for it returning. "System Data" also went down to about 4 GB.
Been there. The only thing that worked for me is backing up the phone, erasing it and then restoring it from the backup. It also helps to be on the latest iOS version. After that the problem starts again (even if you do not even have Apple Maps app on your phone), but it doesn't pick up momentum if you do not have Apple Maps on your phone. Seems to be best not to use Apple Maps.
