Group: Forum Members Posts: 36, Visits: 49	My ipad has an ios update, and it says I don't have enough space. My SD seems to be using 1GB, and so I temporarily removed all but one country from the list of charts. It didn't change the space used. Anyone know if there is something I can do to get it to actually free up this allocated space on the ipad? Thanks! Tags ios ipad

Make sure you save your settings, routes, aircraft and waypoints to the cloud first though!
