Free up Gaana storage

Gaana stores downloaded songs and playlists plus a playback cache so tracks start quickly. My Music stays on your account. Removing a download only deletes the copy on this phone.

Remove downloads

1. Open Gaana and tap My Music.
2. Tap Downloads.
3. Select songs or playlists you do not need offline and remove them.

Favorites and playlists stay in My Music. Only the offline files leave this phone.

Change download settings

1. Open Gaana and tap your profile or the menu.
2. Tap Settings.
3. Open downloads, storage, or audio quality.
4. Lower download quality, and turn off automatic downloads if that option is on.

High quality downloads add up quickly across several playlists.

Clear Gaana cache on Android

1. Open your phone Settings > Apps > Gaana.
2. Tap Storage or Storage and cache.
3. Tap Clear cache.

Do not tap Clear storage / Clear data unless you mean to reset Gaana on this phone. That signs you out and removes local downloads. My Music stays on your account.

iPhone does not offer a separate Gaana cache button. Remove items under My Music > Downloads, or offload the app in iPhone Storage if the system total stays high.

Reinstall the app if storage is still high

If you already cleaned media and Gaana still looks huge, a fresh install can clear leftover cache and temp files that are hard to reach by hand.

1. Downloads will need to be re-downloaded after you sign in. Your account keeps My Music, playlists, and favorites.
2. Delete the app from your phone.
3. Restart your phone.
4. Install Gaana again from the App Store or Google Play.
5. Sign in and restore from backup if the app offers it.

This often frees a lot of space. You may need to download some media again after restore.

What to do next

After Gaana is lighter, check your photo library for duplicates and similar shots. That is what Dedupo is for.
