Hello there What’s the recommendation regarding backing up Roon on iCloud, for my iPad used as a remote? Isn’t it a bit large? Is it possible to reduce the space taken by this app in iCloud? Finally, in what case it’s important to have the backup of the app in Roon, while the core is backed up on…

[image] Roon storage on iPhone Apple iPad and iPhone Mainly Album and artist images. The Roon App needs them to function, but there is no need to backup them up to iCloud storage as the app can rebuild what it needs if your phone goes pop. 1.79 GB seems excessive, some us…

Thanks for the message. Deleting the app and installing it again did nothing. Neither clearing the cache. So I will toggle off Roon backup in iCloud. Support/devs should look into it because 3 Gb of pictures is a lot, no?

Too late. Sorry I missed that setting. Should in be available in Roon app, though.

Yes, Roon Labs should fix the excessive usage and/or provide a way to delete the cache that doesn’t also reset all app settings. (I also don’t understand why iOS does no…

Indeed, there should be a mechanism to prevent it. There must be a lot of people with several GB taken uselessly like this scenario. Regarding storage, it’s fine on my iPad Pro, Roon takes 500 MB but maybe that’s after I reset data as I didn’t check before.

It’s 7.1 GB on my iPad and 5.2 on my phone. Arguably, on the local storage it does not matter as long as storage space is available that would otherwise be empty. Maybe it speeds up some metadata accesses as it does not have to fetch it over the network. But it keeps growing and IIRC there were ca…

Wow it’s 1,29 GB on my iPhone 15 Pro and only 43 MB on my work phone. Disabling now, thanks for the tips. Everyone should check. Is there a way to contact the devs to look into this issue?
