There’s an issue that has been reported here again and again for a long time and I just noticed it. I’ve been using Pixelmator photo on my iPad for a couple of weeks and the app grew to 7.5GB even though I deleted every photo I’ve ever edited from my iPad. I deleted all the folders and edits. My iPad was empty of anything related to Pixelmator (raws, jpegs, .photo, linked files folder.. everything) the only thing left are a few Jpegs in my camera roll, and still the app was 7.5GB. The only solution is to delete and reinstall the app.
Obviously it is the latest version since I just reinstalled it.
When are you going to fix this? If I load a RAW on my iPad and edit it but then I delete those raw files and the .photo files, why is Documents & Data still many gigabytes in size? It’s crazy.
Documents & Data grows out of control
