iPad 2 iOS 8 storage being used when streaming videos (TV Shows) no way to delete or find the videos? Am I missing something?

Thanks Gregg.

I turned off the iPad, which seems to have done the trick. When I turned on the iPad again available storage space was at a level prior to my viewing a movie.

Many thanks.🙂

Now, if Apple could just pull their finger out and resolve the bug... 😟

SSame problem. It appears iTunes and iPad for videos uses storage that cannot be freed up. Does Apple even listen!!!

Argh! I am also having this problem. Unfortunately, signing out and back in did not work for me...

Update: DOWNLOADING the video and then deleting the video is freeing up the "lost" space for me! Thanks everyone!

I think one person reported a positive outcome by signing out of iTunes and the App store, then signing in again.

The signing out of iTunes and App store trick worked for me. I had been streaming Game of Thrones, a lot. My phone gave me the almost out of space message and storage showed 50 some GB used. The list of apps clearly didn't come even close to 50 GB. Signed out of iTunes and App store and boom, 6.6 GB used.

iPhone 5, 64 GB, iOS 8.2

UPDATED SOLUTION

1. Settings - Videos - Turn Show All Videos OFF (if you are using iCloud storage)

2. Press Home key and go to Videos

3. Press the Edit button upper right corner

4. Delete videos

5. Go back to Settings - Videos - Turn Show All Videos ON (if you are using iCloud storage)

6. Still not done!!

7. Hold down the top button to turn off the iPad

8. Turn is back and check your available storage by going the Settings - Usage

Apple,

Why do we have to do this?

I also used the Log Out then Log back in method. I had to stay logged out for a minute for all of the storage to be cleared, but it did work.

Thanks

The easiest solution I have found is:

1) Open the Videos app .

2) Select Edit from the top right corner of the screen. Anything that has been downloaded will show an "x" in the upper right corner.

3) Press the "x" to select and delete the content from your device memory (this does not delete the content from your account).

4) Continue this process until all the "streamed" content is removed (this works for both movies and shows).

5) Open "Usage" in general settings and confirm you have your memory back.

TThis helped me massively thanks for the post.

I have had this issue for 2 years where the videos take up space by streaming but you can't see them to delete.

IT seems if you watch a film all the way through, it is ales up memory and stays there - you haven't downloaded ir, the cloud symbol is there but the entire film is streamed already and you can't get rid.

I Just used I browse as described and it worked a treat.

THanks again

TThis helped also mattTrimble.

IS this new to ios9?
