Can't Clear Space in iOS
-
I can't imagine that I will get my father in law to blow away the email account.
-
Unless he has a Pop account it shouldn't matter. As soon as you reinstall it, it should all come right back.
-
Yup, it's a POP account. He works for a non-profit and the "IT guy" there is taken the company for a ride. He is screwing them out of money left and right but they don't care.
-
Wow. Most non-profits are really bad with their $$.

It's taught me to never donate. I see the whole non-profit system as massively corrupt and not in anyone's real interest.
Non-profits are generally run by the rich, especially by old money inherited rich, and used as nothing more than a way to get money into the pockets of people that they like.

Even if it is a POP account, he seriously only has a copy of the email on his device?
Also, didn't you say he deleted ALL from the iPad? If he did delete all the messages, then there shouldn't be anything left to worry about anyhow.. so delete away and reconnect. Problem hopefully resolved.
-
No, the email is everywhere, but he would never delete an account to fix something. Not worth discussing.

Yes, ALL email was deleted. Not a single message left on the device.
So there is a bug on iOS, no matter what.

As AJ would say - OK then. .

Sure, we were just looking for ways around it

I know, but deleting the account will never happen.
-
What other memory hogs do you have?
Photos, Music, Application data?Does the device still show having data in mail?
Interesting - Just looked at mine: 1.7GB of Photos / Camera.
-
It shows 2.5GB in email, even though email is completely empty.

iOS 8 added a recently deleted section to your photos. They do not leave your device for 30 days now, unless you manually purge them sooner

Any folders of the Inbox still lurking around?
-
Nope, never had any.
-
@scottalanmiller
Just out of curiosity - who is his email account setup through? It's not a answer to the question,.. but curious. -
It's their own. He works for a non-profit and all they have is some cheap POP system. No one can tell me what it is.
-
Any chance that could affect it?
-
It should not be. But as with any bug, hard to tell how big the impact could reach. Who knows what the issue is on iOS that makes it not clear space.
