On iPadOS, I’m seeing large storage growth with MetaGrid Pro after repeated backup → restore cycles.
Fresh install is ~15.7 MB; restoring purchases doesn’t change size.
Importing a 124.4 MB backup initially results in ~495 MB, but over time another iPad with the same data has grown to ~24.6 GB.
Deleting and reinstalling, then importing the same backup, drops usage back down.
Is this due to deferred materialization / cached computation data, and is there a way to clear it without reinstalling?
@MetaGrid_Admin I’m trying to understand what is being stored under MetaGrid Pro’s Documents & Data (currently ~32 GB).
Could you clarify what this data consists of and whether there is a recommended way to manage or reduce it? Without visibility or controls, storage usage grows to a point where the app becomes difficult to maintain.
@sealtunes Thanks for this - we have just been informed by another user about this - we are investigating - it seems iOS is caching the import / export files without nuking this on each restart - we will definitely handle this in the next update. Thank you for that!
@MetaGrid_Admin
Thanks for confirming and for looking into it.
For reference, my current workaround has been to back up, delete, reinstall MetaGrid Pro, and then restore from backup, which immediately reduces the Documents & Data size on my other iPads.
Hopefully the upcoming fix will make this unnecessary going forward.
