Offline Data not deletable

rehaxxor — Fri, 11 May 2018 13:24:55 GMT

Hello,

I downloaded some playlists and then reinstalled Spotify. Now the data is still on the SD card and I can't delete them. The folder is read-only so can't delete it manually.

Twice now in the past six months Spotify has corrupted my SD card. It stops saving offline downloads to it and I can't delete the data. I cannot reformat the SD card either on my phone or laptop. Once I'm prepared to blame the SD card but not twice. Any suggestions?

I should add that the Spotify SD card storage folder is enormous, 7.3 GB. The card is 16 GB. I only have a few playlists downloaded at any one time so how come it got so big?

Was the SD card formatted as internal or portable storage?

I've no idea. Just put it in the phone and it formatted itself.
