iOS app delete download does not release memory space back to device.  

Problem can be seen by iOS setting->general->iPhone Storage  "Emby use storage" & quit settings.  Delete video media downloaded into emby. Quit Emby. Reopen settings and notice Emby still uses up same amount of storage.

Delete app and reinstall it and the Emby App used data is now released.

But if you download something else, does it add to the memory usage, or does it re-use the memory that you expected to be released?

The user downloads a bunch of video media into Emby app to travel, filling phone storage.  Upon returning from trip needs to delete the media so the phone has memory storage to be usable again.  Emby app does not release its data storage used on phone after downloads are deleted in Emby app.

@brian5678did you give it a little time or did you check immediately? The deletion actually happens on the next run of the app's background refresh process.

That's something we need to look at improving to make it a little more immediate, but that's what it currently does.

I have been waiting for over 5 days for the 4+GB of Emby app data to be released back to the device.  Emby app 2.2.10 has had NO downloaded titles on to it, or pending downloads since the 8/20.

OK then I would try clearing the data and seeing if you can get it to happen again with 2.2.11. Thanks.
