Why does the deleted Apple Maps app still occupy storage space on my iPhone?

Hi, I have been experiencing some weird issue with APPLE MAPS APP.


I already delete the app, but why this app still filling my storage: it already took 22gb in my storage. In the meantime, I have already not using the apps since 3 months ago, since it’s consuming my storage by itself. Any help?

  • Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Manage Account Storage.
  • See if there's any Maps-related data stored in iCloud. If so, you might be able to delete it.


  • Other" storage can fluctuate, and it's not always easy to pinpoint the exact cause.
  • Be cautious when deleting data, especially system data, as it can affect your iPhone's functionality.
