Removing downloaded offline missions from your cellphone.

I'm going to be using and old phone that no longer has cell service with Dronelink. I've successfully downloaded the plans into this old phone via Wi-Fi while I've been at home. I'm going to try my first drone link flights tomorrow. One question I don't see answered anywhere is once you've downloaded and stored plans on a phone that doesn't have cellular service, how do you then at a later date remove those so they're not taking up space on that old phone. Is there any step-by-step instructions available anywhere? Thanks

If may depend on whether using IOS or Android OS device. On my iPad it’s under General settings and then storage. Check under the storage on the device for the DL app and it will show the amount of the app size itself and also the documents and data amount. The files are not very big so really no reason to delete any of them. I download all my plans even though I always have service and it’s only at 150 MB right now.

Is there no built-in feature in the Dronelink Android app to delete downloaded plans? That seems odd and unexpected.

Any chance to have someone from Dronelink comment on this?

Mission plans take up a few 100 kb. On modern devices with gb of storage, it is several orders of magnitude away from mattering.
