Amazon Prime Video App takes up too much storage.

I got a message that I am almost out of storage on my iPad. Wen I looked at the Manage Storage I see that the Amazon Prime Video App has used up 1.5GM on my iPad. When I click on it it shows 1.4 GB of documents and storage. I don't download movies but rather stream them. I compared it to my Netflix App which used only 87.7 MB or SHO Anytime which used 11.6 MB. What should I do to remove this excessive storage ? Should I delete the App and reload it ?

Thank you for any help in this matter.

iPad, iOS 9.2.1

I was able to free up about 700Mb from my Amazon Prime Video app without uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Inside the app, click on the downloads button on the bottom and look for any content that you have downloaded to your device. I had three TV shows and was able to delete each of them from my device one-by-one. It would be helpful if they added a feature to delete all downloaded content with a single button.

Amazon Prime Video creates a watchlist for you and adds shows through some logic. I'm not sure how. I deleted a lot of these items off of my watch list and the size for Amazon Prime was reduced by several hundred Mb. This may work for you.
