Apple maps documents & data taking up exhorbitant storage space Iphone12 user here. I am beyond frustrated & confused as to why I am able to delete any app on my phone and its applicable documents & data delete as well BUT the Apple maps app says deleted and yet the documents & app remain as part of the storage. My husband has same phone and his storage is on par with minimal. His phone is 128gb storage. I have 256gb and Maps storage is taking up 6.2 gb space. Mind you, a month ago it was at 4.3gb and now in a moth it is growing steaduly and with NO reason. I have deleted ALL apps and their documents & data all get deleted. When reinstalled, the app is normal with normal "beginning" storage space. This Apple maps WILL NOT DELETE. Everyday the storage INCREASES. I've tried to restart, delete all apps to the point of being empty but I HAVE NOT RESET to factory settings. If that is the solution, please let me know if the latest backup will be able to restore my personal contacts, notes, photos, etc. Other apps that are work related & personal use should work on their own merit. Things done: Reset multiple times - too many to count Deleted unnecessary , non critical apps Background app refresh off system services - reviewed but NERVOUS of altering Sharing location on - not altered - family members on it - need to keep working Deleted & Reinstalled Google maps - Default map used for navigation Location Services - reviewed and turned on and off as saw fit Privacy settings - Reviewed Maps app - no downloaded maps - never had any cleared all history Questions / thoughts Issue related to Google maps at all? Issue related to family location shared? Issue related to having iphone photos location on? Issue related to "not enough stroage" space? (guilty of this - in process of making room)

Why is my Apple Maps taking up 27 GB of storage space? For some reason, my Apple Maps takes up 27 GB of storage space. I have tried to delete the app, restart my phone, and offload the app. I also made sure there was no offline maps or data downloaded. I also turned it off in my Apple ICloud storage settings. Even when the app is uninstalled it continues to take up more space. I need to update my phone which will hopefully fix the issue. However, it’s really hard to do that when every time I make space, apple maps takes that space so quickly. Any solutions please? I don’t want to back up and reset my phone.
