I’ve got a monstrous amount of podcast content in Overcast and it completely bogs down my app. I’ve decided to just delete everything and start from scratch.
On my iPhone, I deleted the app. But if I reload it, it syncs data and I get a bunch of the podcasts back. I do have an Overcast account. When I login to the website, I can see all the podcasts there.
Perhaps it takes time to clear all the data but I’m wondering if anyone knows how to get everything deleted.
In the past, I’ve tried getting support from the developer but that tends to be a dead end. I’ll send a tweet and maybe I’ll get lucky.
I am logged into my account on the website and I see no ability to delete anything. I don’t want to delete the account which is the only option I see.
To be clear, I could go into each episode and delete it but that would take me forever. Right now, I’m on my iPhone and delete podcasts one by one until there is another solution.
Is this on the website? I don’t have that option. I have two pages on the website: a) Overcast and b) Account. The Overcast page just has a list of all the episodes.
On my iPhone, on the page where it lists all the podcasts, I have two sections (one under the other). I don’t have the ALL EPISODES section anymore. I have a section for a) PODCASTS and b) PLAYED PODCASTS.
I’m basically forced to swipe left and delete each podcast separately.
I have an Overcast account but I’m currently on the free account. I wonder if that’s why I don’t see way to delete podcasts. I do have the export OPML option under the Accounts but I’m not looking to export data. I just want to delete everything.
Perhaps it is the fact that I don’t have a paid account although I have paid in the past and I don’t remember ever seeing the ‘Overcast’ page showing anything different than the screenshot below.
