Amazon Prime Video is a subscription-based service that allows you to purchase or rent movies and TV shows then stream on a wide range of devices.
Aside from streaming, the service offers a download option, where you can download your favorite videos and movies, save them in the Amazon Library, and watch offline at a later time.
This is a great option when traveling and in areas with a poor internet connection.
However, the download option presents a major problem when it comes to your device’s storage. Once you have finished watching the videos, you are left with large files, which take up a large portion of your otherwise limited device’s storage space.
This can present a challenge when it comes to downloading more videos or installing other applications on your device.
Fortunately, you can delete videos from the Amazon library, to leave sufficient space for other uses.

Large Amazon prime videos and movies can take up too much of your storage space, denying you the opportunity to download new ones or install other applications on your device.

However, before hitting the “delete” button, be sure that you are finished watching them as restoring them can be a bit of a hassle.
