Pocket Casts features a number of storage tools to help manage your episodes including options to:
- Auto archive episodes after playing
- Auto archive inactive episodes
- Delete downloaded episodes
- Streaming by default instead of downloading:
- Tap Profile
- Tap the Settings cog
- Select General
- Set Row Action to Play
When your iOS device has less than 10% of storage available, a banner notification will display on the Downloads screen. Tap “Manage downloads” to free up space. (Available in version 7.78 and higher.)
iOS stores additional cache that is not visible to Pocket Casts. For this reason the storage usage reported in the Settings app will be greater than what’s reported in Pocket Casts.
Even when Pocket Casts deletes downloaded files, iOS doesn’t immediately reflect that the space has been freed up. iOS only reclaims that storage when the system decides it needs to.
