iOS says Aloha is using more storage than it actually is

Solved Zed ● 2 years ago

Aloha says I’m using 56GB of storage where as iOS Storage says it’s using 66GB. I’ve cleared everything and emptied trash. How do I get my 10GB of storage back without deleting the app?

Searching some of the posts here seems to be a common issue?

Please do the following steps:

  1. Clear cache in Aloha Privacy settings

Hi there,

According to the latest report, right now your Aloha's downloads folder is stored only 106mb in different web caches. Could you please again add screenshots with Aloha storage size in downloads and system settings to compare?

Odd, it says 53GB in Aloha and 67GB on iOS.

Please click on it, see image for reference:

Then check the app size and app data/documents size, again please take a screenshot.

iOS shows the accurate size when I offload Aloha.

But goes back when re downloaded

Sometimes reinstalling is the only way to clear that "Other" data—even if it’s a pain.

Clear cache!

Unsuccessfully…

Remove and reinstall app.

Do you installed any dock or extension?

Removing app would delete my files/downloads no?

Hi,

The discrepancy between the file sizes shown in the two screenshots is because they're measuring different aspects of the Aloha app's storage usage:

In the first screenshot (iPhone Storage):


  • App size - This represents the installed application code itself
  • Documents and data - This represents user data stored by the app


In the second screenshot (Aloha Files page):

  • "Aloha files" - This specifically shows files stored by Aloha that are accessible through the device's file system


The difference occurs because:

  1. The first screenshot shows the total app footprint (both the app binary and all its data)
  2. The second screenshot is showing only user-accessible files that Aloha has created

Most of Aloha's of "Documents and data" are likely stored in app-specific directories or databases that aren't directly accessible through the device's file system, which explains why not all Mbytes appear as "Aloha files" in the storage management view.
