Deleted podcasts return

I'm trying to delete podcasts I have saved from my library to free up my phone storage. But everytime I do and close the app, the downloads return. Is there I way I can permanently erase these downloads so that they don’t come back?

Hey there jedtziel,


Let's check settings and see if you're using the steps to delete a podcast, that match the official steps: Download and delete episodes in Apple Podcasts on iPhone and iPad


"Delete one episode

  1. Open the Podcasts app.
  2. On your iPhone, go to the Library tab, then tap Shows. On your iPad, go to Library in the sidebar and tap Shows.
  3. Tap the show to see all of its episodes.
  4. Find the episode that you want, then touch and hold the episode.
  5. Tap Remove Download." (retrieved from article linked above)

Take care.
