What’s using this space.

Operating System

1. iOS

I have no photos or projects in Photoshop on my iPad, yet when I look at the storage the app is using 229mb, but it’s also showing 10.2gb of ‘Document and Data’. What the hell is using up all this space, and how can I get it back.

Delete the app and then reinstall it.

Yea, that sorted it, but I shouldn’t have to keep doing that to recover this space.

I have no idea what is taking that much space. I have a few images shown in cloud documents, but none of them downloaded to the iPad. The space Photoshop takes for data is only 127 MB.

One of the weak spots with mobile now is Adobe's ability to manage locally storage. I have been told this is being addressed in Lightroom. I am unable to find a setting in Photoshop to address the accummulating data storage. Perhaps Photoshop has the same weak spot as Lightroom Mobile and hopefully it too is being addressed in a future update.
