Free up SonyLIV storage

SonyLIV stores movies and episodes you save for offline viewing. Live sports also leave a large watch cache after a long match. My List stays on your account. Removing a download only deletes the file on this phone.

See how much space SonyLIV is using

iPhone

Open the iPhone Settings app.
Tap General > iPhone Storage.
Tap SonyLIV.

Android

Open your phone Settings > Apps.
Tap SonyLIV.
Tap Storage or Storage and cache.

SonyLIV does not have a WhatsApp-style storage screen. Open Downloads or My Downloads.

Delete downloads

Open SonyLIV and tap Downloads or My Downloads (sometimes under your profile).
Tap a title and remove the download.

Movies, full seasons, and sports replays are the largest items. The title stays in My List and can be downloaded again later.

Change download settings

Open your profile and tap Settings.
Open Downloads or video quality.
Set a lower download quality, and turn off cellular downloads if that toggle is shown.

Live matches do not stay as downloads unless you save a replay. Clearing cache after a long live stream still helps.

Clear SonyLIV cache on Android

Open your phone Settings > Apps > SonyLIV.
Tap Storage or Storage and cache.
Tap Clear cache.

Do not tap Clear storage / Clear data unless you mean to reset SonyLIV on this phone. That signs you out and removes local downloads. My List stays on your account.

iPhone does not offer a separate SonyLIV cache button. Delete items under Downloads, or offload the app in iPhone Storage if the system total stays high.

Reinstall the app if storage is still high

If you already cleaned media and SonyLIV still looks huge, a fresh install can clear leftover cache and temp files that are hard to reach by hand.

Downloads will need to be re-downloaded after you sign in. Your account keeps My List and watch history.
Delete the app from your phone.
Restart your phone.
Install SonyLIV again from the App Store or Google Play.
Sign in and restore from backup if the app offers it.

This often frees a lot of space. You may need to download some media again after restore.

What to do next

After SonyLIV is lighter, check your photo library for duplicates and similar shots. That is what Dedupo is for.
