Question

Should I delete the 20 books that I have finished from my Android phone to get more space? If I delete them, will they be available to me in the future?

Community Answer

if you remove the books, they will only delete off of your library but they will still be available for you to redownload (free of price, since you have purchased them in the past) when you go to the "My Library" section of the app and under "Titles".

How to free up storage?

Community Answer

You’ll have to remove more books, try using a lite version if available, delete other apps on your device, etc.

Do you lose the Audible books that you take off the device?

No, deleted books are saved in the library of the Audible account and can be downloaded again an unlimited number of times.

Question

I cannot delete titles from my library--they just accumulate. Content manager does nothing. "delete from device" dies nothing. marking as finished does nothing. How do I reduce this list?

Community Answer

You cannot actually completely get rid of an Audiobook. You can however “delete” it and it will undownload and not take space up.

Question

What is the difference between Audible's ‘Archive’ and ‘Delete from this device” functions?

Blaise Kern

Community Answer

Archive would move the audio book from your main screen in order to clean it up, but won't delete it from your device. Delete will remove from your device, and the main screen.

Question

How do I remove the titles and icons from my device when the book is removed?

Blaise Kern

Community Answer

You can delete it from your device and the icons should be removed. If they aren't, then you can try archiving the audio book.

Question

What happens to audible books that have been archived? Are they still available to download again?

Blaise Kern

Community Answer

Yes, they will still be available for download in your cloud library. This just removes them from device storage.
