why is podcast app using 1G of storage when I have nothing loaded on it? how do I find out what the 1G of stuff is on the app? I have gone to settings /storage /manage and it lists what apps I have and how much storage it is using but when I click the podcast app it only tells me that I have 1G of documents & data but it does not tell me what documents & data.
I only have 12G on the ipad and this app is taking a lot of space
iPad (4th gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 10
I guess I am missing something here...I do have iOS 10 on the ipad but when the apps jiggle the podcast app does not offer the ✖ to delete and I do not know how to force close apps on the ipad. I have force closed apps many times on the laptop, just as you have described, but I seem to be at a loss on how to on the ipad. Is there an Apple menu on the ipad to get to the force close window? I have not seen it.
It seems this 1G podcast business started after upgrading to iOS 10. and I do use the podcast app daily but only download talk and one episode at a time

Force an app to close on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
oh, thanks! I did not know that. have you had problems with podcast storage? WTH is up with that?
ok. force closed podcast app and settings app. shut down. restart, no change in storage. still 1G. Is there a secret to deleting built in apps? they giggle but there is no x to delete so I can not dump it
No, there's no secret to deleting the built-in apps in iOS 10. Do you have any restrictions enabled? You said you looked at the storage usage page for the app. It should show a delete button, which might work. But that does not seem to apply to the built-in apps.
no delete button on built in apps. I can not get rid of the app or the 1G of storage that seems to be hiding somewhere even if I replace it with another podcast app it still does not solve my problem.
If you have no restrictions, the podcast app should have the x when you hold it. Do the other apps have x when you hold them?
I have no restrictions and there is no x on the giggling podcast app. others have the x. I have deleted lots of apps. do it all the time
podcast is using 1G of storage iOS 10
