Depending on map size and layer, downloaded maps can take up a lot of free space on your phone. As a general rule of thumb, the larger the saved map area, the more storage it will take up. We suggest periodically deleting saved map files that you are not frequently using.
You can free up storage in the AllTrails app by deleting maps from your AllTrails account. There are a few ways to do so.
Delete maps from your 'My maps' list
You can delete a specific map from your 'My maps' list by following these steps:
Via iPhone and Android app:
- Open the AllTrails app
- Tap on 'Saved' on the bottom navigation bar
- Select 'Lists' from the tabs at the top of the screen
- Select 'My maps'
- Tap the overflow menu (three dots) in the upper right corner
- Select 'Edit list'
- Tap the minus icon on any map cards that you wish to delete and tap 'Remove' in the pop-up (iOS only)
- Tap 'Done' when you are finished editing the list
Note: Deleting a map from 'My maps' that has been downloaded will also delete the downloaded map and will no longer be listed under your 'Downloads' tab.
Remove a downloaded map layer without deleting the map
Via iPhone and Android app:
- Open the AllTrails app
- Tap on 'Saved' on the bottom navigation bar
- Select 'Downloads' from the tabs at the top of the screen
- Find the map that you'd like to delete and tap the green download arrow at the bottom right of the map card
- Tap the green download icon next to the map type you want to remove
- Tap 'Remove' to confirm
You can also delete all downloaded maps by following these steps:
Via iPhone and Android app:
- Open the AllTrails app
- Tap on 'Profile' on the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the Settings icon (
) at the top right corner - Scroll down to see 'Downloaded Map Types' at the bottom of the settings screen
- Select 'Remove All'
Clear your cached data (iPhone only)
If none of the above work you can try to clear your cached data in the AllTrails iPhone app:
- Open the AllTrails app
- Tap on 'Profile' on the bottom navigation bar
- Tap the Settings icon () at the top right corner
- Scroll to the bottom of the screen and select 'Clear All Cached Data'
