I am always near the storage limit of my phone and like to rotate the offline albums, and so I find it very frustrating that the data is not immediately removed after turning off "available offline".<BR /><BR />1. How long does it take for the data to be removed?<BR /><BR />2. Is there a way to force the data to be removed, for a specific album?<BR /><BR />3. Why is there a delay??

At the moment the way it works is that the cache will continue to build until the storage had only 10% free space. The only way to clear it manually is to clear the entire cache which means redownloading what you still want. The developers are aware that this is an issue, hopefully they'll do something about this in the future Fri, 11 Mar 2016 08:09:03 GMT https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/How-long-does-it-take-to-remove-storage-data-off-phone-after/m-p/1305630#M56244 Daniel 2016-03-11T08:09:03Z https://community.spotify.com/t5/Android/How-long-does-it-take-to-remove-storage-data-off-phone-after/m-p/1305911#M56259 Wow, thanks, yes that is definitely an issue and will make me look into other apps. Seems like it should be an easy fix too.<BR /><BR />If you clear the cache does it get rid of your saved albums, or does it just remove the downloads but keep the saved list?

Whilst your albums will still show in your library as saved, if you want local cache of the album you'll have to saved it again.
