Offline Data not deletable

Offline Data not deletable

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?

How do I check that?

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