Odd email usage.

I Have no email on my phone currently but it says I have 2.1 GB ON "email" usage under manage storage. I am not sure why? Any help would be great in how to fix.

iPhone 5s, iOS 8.4

Howdy Scmacg92,

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities.

If you're not seeing any emails in your inbox, but you are seeing storage space being taken up by Mail, then you might need to clear our your Trash folder.

iOS

If your iOS device is configured to access iCloud email, you can delete messages from any mailbox, then empty the Trash to free up space:

Swipe left across any message to delete it.

Tap your Trash folder.

Delete messages one at a time or delete all of them by tapping Edit, then tapping Delete All.

Manage your iCloud storage - Apple Support

Have a good one.

Thanks for your help. I did not explain myself well enough. I wiped all my email accounts from phone and storage still had it at 2.1 GB. I ended up reseting phone to factory settings. That worked. I guess my question now is: could that have been part of a hack? My phone also ran hot prior to reset. Thanks Again.
