如何释放iPhone或iPad上的Podcasts应用程序使用的空间

Apple’s Podcasts app automatically downloads new episodes of podcasts you subscribe to, storing them on your device. That’s convenient, but it can strain all those 16GB iPhones and iPads.

Apple的Podcasts应用程序会自动下载您订阅的Podcast的新剧集,并将其存储在设备上。 这很方便,但是它可能使所有16GB iPhone和iPad承受压力。

The Podcasts app offers quite a few options for recovering your storage, from quickly deleting entire shows to limiting how many episodes are stored on your device.

Podcasts应用提供了许多恢复存储的选项,从快速删除整个节目到限制设备上存储多少集。

查看Podcasts应用正在使用多少空间 (See How Much Space the Podcasts App is Using)

You can view how much space the Podcasts app is using like you’d see how much space any app is using on your iPhone or iPad. Open the Settings app, tap “General,” tap “Storage & iCloud Usage,” and tap “Manage Storage” under Storage. Look for the Podcasts app in the list of apps and you’ll see how much storage it’s using on your current device.

您可以查看Podcasts应用正在使用多少空间,就像您在iPhone或iPad上看到任何应用正在使用多少空间一样。 打开“设置”应用,点击“常规”,点击“存储和iCloud使用情况”,然后点击“存储”下的“管理存储”。 在应用程序列表中查找Podcasts应用程序,您将看到它在当前设备上使用了多少存储空间。

快速删除整个播客 (Quickly Delete Entire Podcasts)

If you need to recover space as fast as possible, you can do this directly from the Storage screen. Tap the “Podcasts” app in the list of apps using space. You’ll see a breakdown of its storage usage, including how much space is used by each podcast you’re subscribed to.

如果需要尽快恢复空间,可以直接在“存储”屏幕上进行。 在使用空间的应用列表中点击“播客”应用。 您将看到其存储使用情况的细分,包括您所订阅的每个播客使用了多少空间。

To delete a podcast, swipe left on it and tap “Delete.” You can also click “Edit” at the top-right corner of your screen and use the buttons to quickly delete podcasts.

要删除播客,请向左滑动,然后点按“删除”。 您也可以单击屏幕右上角的“编辑”,然后使用按钮快速删除播客。

This won’t actually unsubscribe you from any podcasts. When you visit the Podcasts app again, you’ll still see those shows, you just won’t have any of its episodes stored on your device. The Podcasts app will continue to download new episodes as usual, and you can choose to download or stream old episodes, if you like.

实际上,这不会使您退订任何播客。 当您再次访问Podcasts应用时,您仍会看到这些节目,只是设备上没有存储任何节目。 Podcasts应用程序将继续照常下载新剧集,并且您可以根据需要选择下载或流式传输旧剧集。

设置剧集限制 (Set Episode Limits)

To keep using the Podcasts app normally, but prevent it from using an ever-increasing amount of storage, you may want to change its settings. You won’t find these inside the Podcasts app itself. Instead, you’ll need to open iOS’ Settings app and tap “Podcasts” on the main Settings screen.

为了继续正常使用Podcasts应用程序,但又阻止其使用不断增加的存储量,您可能需要更改其设置。 您不会在Podcasts应用本身中找到这些内容。 相反,您需要打开iOS的“设置”应用,然后在“设置”主屏幕上点击“播客”。

Set your desired options under Podcast Defaults. By default, the Podcasts app will download new episodes and delete played episodes, but it won’t limit the number of episodes it downloads and stores. This means that, if you added a podcast weeks ago and never listened to it, your Podcasts app is continually downloading new episodes and filling up your iPhone or iPad’s storage.

在“播客默认值”下设置所需的选项。 默认情况下,Podcasts应用程序将下载新剧集并删除播放的剧集,但不会限制其下载和存储的剧集数量。 这意味着,如果您在几周前添加了播客,但从未收听过,则您的Podcasts应用会持续下载新剧集并填充iPhone或iPad的存储空间。

To prevent this from happening, you can tap “Limit Episodes” here and set an episode limit. For example, you could have the app only keep the 10 most recent episodes, or automatically delete episodes after a month.

为防止这种情况发生,您可以在此处点击“限制剧集”并设置一个剧集限制。 例如,您可以让该应用仅保留最近的10集,或者一个月后自动删除这些集。

You should also ensure the the “Delete Played Episodes” option is enabled, as this will help you automatically free up space as you listen to those episodes.

您还应该确保启用“删除播放的剧集”选项,因为这将帮助您在收听这些剧集时自动释放空间。

The options under Settings > Podcasts are just the default options that are applied when you subscribe to a new podcast in the Podcasts app. If you haven’t changed the default options for any podcasts you’ve subscribed to, changing the above settings will also change the options your existing podcasts use. If you have changed their settings, you may need to update each podcast’s settings individually.

设置>播客下的选项只是您在Podcasts应用中订阅新播客时应用的默认选项。 如果您尚未更改已订阅的任何播客的默认选项,则更改以上设置还将更改现有播客使用的选项。 如果更改了它们的设置,则可能需要分别更新每个播客的设置。

To find out, open the Podcasts app and tap the “My Podcasts” icon. Tap a podcast’s name and then tap the gear icon to access its settings. Under “On This iPhone” or “On This iPad,” ensure the episode limit is set to your desired limit.

要找到答案,请打开Podcasts应用程序,然后点击“我的Podcasts”图标。 点击播客的名称,然后点击齿轮图标以访问其设置。 在“在此iPhone上”或“在此iPad上”下,确保将剧集限制设置为所需的限制。

This screen allows you to set different limits and settings for different podcasts. For example, you could only keep one or two recent episodes for a news podcast, but keep more episodes for other podcasts.

该屏幕允许您为不同的播客设置不同的限制和设置。 例如,对于新闻播客,您只能保留一个或两个最近的剧集,而对于其他播客,则可以保留更多的剧集。

管理个人剧集 (Manage Individual Episodes)

You can also individually manage each downloaded episode. Under My Podcasts, tap a podcast to view the individual episodes. Episodes that haven’t been downloaded to your device, but are available to download or stream, have a cloud icon next to them. If you don’t see a cloud icon, the episode has been downloaded and is taking up space on your device. For example, in the screenshot below, the first episode is downloaded, and the second and third aren’t.

您还可以单独管理每个下载的剧集。 在“我的播客”下,点击一个播客以查看各个剧集。 尚未下载到您的设备但可以下载或流式播放的剧集在其旁边带有云形图标。 如果您没有看到云形图标,则说明该集已下载,并占用了设备上的空间。 例如,在下面的屏幕快照中,下载了第一集,而没有下载第二集和第三集。

To delete a downloaded episode, tap the “…” menu button to the right of the episode and tap “Remove Download.” It will be removed from your device.

要删除下载的剧集,请点击剧集右侧的“…”菜单按钮,然后点击“删除下载”。 它将从您的设备中删除。

You can also swipe left on an episode and tap “Delete” or tap the “Edit” button and bulk-delete episodes. If you do this, they’ll also be deleted from the “Unplayed” view. If you just use the “Remove Download” option instead, they’ll be left in the Unplayed view so you’ll know you haven’t played them. (Even if you do delete episodes from the Unplayed view, you’ll still be able to see them on the “Feed” view. But it’ll be tough to remember whether you’ve listened to them or simply deleted them when you check in the future.)

您也可以在剧集上向左滑动,然后点击“删除”或点击“编辑”按钮并批量删除剧集。 如果这样做,它们也将从“未播放”视图中删除。 如果您仅使用“删除下载”选项,它们将保留在“未播放”视图中,因此您将知道您尚未播放它们。 (即使您确实从“未播放”视图中删除了剧集,仍然可以在“ Feed”视图中看到它们。但是要记住当您检查时是否听过它们或只是将其删除就很难了。在将来。)

防止播客自动下载新剧集 (Prevent a Podcast From Automatically Downloading New Episodes)

You can also prevent a podcast from automatically downloading new episodes to your iPhone or iPad in the future. To do this, open the Podcasts app and tap “My Podcasts.” If you never plan on listening to a podcast again, you can unsubscribe from it by swiping left on it and tapping “Delete.”

您还可以防止播客将来自动将新剧集下载到iPhone或iPad。 为此,请打开Podcasts应用,然后点击“我的Podcast”。 如果您不再打算再次收听播客,则可以通过向左滑动并点按“删除”来取消订阅。

However, you can also remain subscribed to a podcast while preventing it from downloading future episodes. To do this, tap the name of a podcast on the My Podcasts view and tap the gear icon to view its settings. Under “On This iPhone” or “On This iPad,” tap “Download Episodes” and select “Off.” The Podcasts app won’t automatically download episodes of that podcast in the future.

但是,您也可以保持订阅播客,同时阻止其下载将来的剧集。 为此,请在“我的播客”视图上点击播客的名称,然后点击齿轮图标以查看其设置。 在“在此iPhone上”或“在此iPad上”下,点击“下载剧集”,然后选择“关闭”。 Podcasts应用程序将来不会自动下载该Podcast的剧集。

To change the default setting for podcasts to Podcasts app from automatically downloading new episodes for any podcast using those default settings, open the Settings app, tap “Podcasts,” and set “Download Episodes ” to “Off” under “Podcast Defaults.”

要将播客的默认设置更改为使用这些默认设置自动为任何播客下载新的剧集,请打开“设置”应用程序,点击“播客”,然后将“播客默认值”下的“下载剧集”设置为“关”。



If you use a third-party app to listen to podcasts, none of these settings apply to it. You’ll see the podcasts downloaded by that app as part of the app’s storage on the Storage screen. Use the options provided in the other app’s settings to manage how much space it uses for downloaded podcasts. You can also just delete the app and immediately recover all the storage it’s using, if you don’t want to use it any longer. Uninstall the app and all its downloaded podcasts will be erased.

如果您使用第三方应用程序收听播客,则这些设置均不适用于该播客。 您会在“存储”屏幕上看到该应用下载的播客,作为该应用存储的一部分。 使用其他应用程序设置中提供的选项来管理其用于下载的播客的空间。 如果您不想再使用该应用程序,则也可以删除该应用程序并立即恢复其正在使用的所有存储。 卸载该应用程序,其所有下载的播客将被删除。
