My Question or Issue

I don't understand how the storage of Spotify is being calculated. It says that Spotify is using 29.45 GB and when I click on Spotify in my settings, it says my documents & data is using 58.44 GB, which is way too much and very confusing.

 

I have about 3.4k downloaded songs. I'm not even able to update my phone due to Spotify using so much storage and I'm very confused to which data storage should I refer myself to? How is everything calculated?

Hey @anvtoh, welcome to the Spotify Community! 🎵

 

Could you please share a screenshot of the following: Spotify -> settings -> storage? This will help determine if the storage taken is actually from the cache and not just the offline downloads.

 

To save storage you can switch to a lower song quality as well, check out this article for more info.

 

Keep me posted. 🙂

Here's the screenshot of what's been asked.

This still does not explain why it says Spotify is taking up to almost 60 GBs in my phone, according to my iPhone Storage. Is there a leak somewhere?
