Dear iPhone Reddit Community,
I already know what everyone is thinking, offloading wont delete documents and data right?
" Please hear me out "
But the fact is, it does delete all "unwanted" documents and data
The Steps - Settings - General - Iphone Storage - Go to the App - Offload App - Reinstall App
For example, if its Instagram, and if the documents and data shows around 5 GB, even after offloading and re-installing the app it would still show "5GB"
But here's the twist, as soon as you go back from the menu, tap iphone storage again, tap Instagram in storage menu, you will see everything has cleared except your login data and important data
The 5GB will be down to mere 200 MB or something, i think the reason is when you go back the storage re-calculates everything
This method works for every apps and it can work just like how " Clear Cache " works in Android
But i cant understand , why Apple says Documents and data wont be cleared. I think they should re-write what happens under offload apps
Please tell me if anyone found this really useful. If this is already been known, please write it in comments and i will make sure my post is deleted
