Removing Dropbox Files on iPad

You can delete and re-install Dropbox to get rid of the cache. We use to be able to adjust the size of the cache but not now.

So each time it rises to 300mb+ or whatever too much for you, you have to uninstall.

The answer is: you cannot clear that cache - yes? You have to remove first.

You can no longer adjust the size of the cache now. It use to be adjustable.

Actually you dont have to uninstall and reinstall.. you can simply unlink ur ipad, from dropbox, in the app itself and then relink by signing in again. 🙂 jus found out this.

When you unlink, it doesn't clear the cache in Dropbox.

but i noticed that the 'doc and data' in setting's usage column was greatly reduced after i unlink. doesnt that mean that space was freed?

You are merely saving some space in iCloud and not on iPad (tap to enlarge image)

Thanks for your prompt reply. I am actually refering to General>Usage>storage on ipad. its true that space was freed up on the ipad..maybe u would like to try and then refresh to see

The answer is, nothing will clear that cache apart from one App that I was tought a while ago.

Dropbox won't do it. And no seeing in the iPad or iPhone will do it.

Get - iFunBox. It's free. You install it on your PC. Connect device. Ensure iTunes is running. Then open iFunBox, and Managing App Data.

Show All.

Then click the app (ie Dropbox) and then go to Library. Then Select Cache, and delete.

It won't delete the folder, but you will see the cache build up and it will delete it all.

Works great for Wallpaper apps too, that accumulate quickly if you like changing those. And specially Spotify which doesn't really "stream" it actually (I think) stores the music cache on your device, so builds up pretty fast.
