The "Documents & Data" of this app is massive (huge filesize) #170

I am trying to save storage space on my iPad. I have noticed that this app took up over 2.5 GB of storage. I was confused.

I know you can add your own presets, but it shouldn't take up this much space. I think that it's mostly the temporary recordings I had made. However, I couldn't find a setting in the app to delete the recordings or clean up any temporary files.

The only way right now to fix this issue is by deleting and reinstalling the app. That way, those recordings (and any other temp files) will be deleted.

Hopefully, this will be fixed soon.

Hi there. Presets don't take up hardly any space (they're JSON text file. You can fit hundreds of presets in a single megabyte).

What's probably taking up space is your Audio Recordings. In any app, audio recordings take up a lot of space by the nature of the file format. That's an interesting idea bout a way to delete audio recordings from within the app

Did we ever merge this? https://github.com/AudioKit/AudioKitSynthOne/pull/138 looks like @marcussatellite tried this. But also happy to push a PR that just wipes the tmp dir on startup.

Hmm…not sure why that didn’t get merged.

I don’t have Xcode 11 handy...Matt, if it’s not a huge inconvenience for you to push up a similar PR that would be cool.

If it’s a pain I can take some time to do this.
