Mac - Manage Storage

We have provided a way for you to manage storage in your Olive Tree Bible App by offloading resources to free up space on your device. This article will give you steps for how to do this with both ebooks and audio Bibles. 

Follow these steps to locate the Manage Storage menu:

  • Open the Library by selecting the Library icon from the toolbar.

On the next screen, you will see two graphs. The first graph shows the storage on your computer. You can see how much space the Olive Tree Bible App uses as well as how much space is used by other programs, documents, etc.  on your computer. On the second graph, you can see how much space each resource uses within the app's storage. The five resources that use the most space are shown below the graph. 

  •  Select "Offload Resources".

When you select an ebook, you will see a dialog box appear under the ebook. The text in this box will tell you how much space offloading this resource will free up on your device. Select 'Offload Book' to remove the download.

This will take you to a new window with a list of each individual Bible book in the audio resource. You can either offload the full downloaded Bible or you can offload specific Bible books. 

To offload an individual Bible book, select the red circle with a white minus sign. Select 'Delete' on the pop-up window to confirm that you want to remove the download. Once you have selected 'Delete' the download will be removed from your device.

If you want to offload a full audio Bible, select the 'Offload Audio Bible' button. Select 'Offload' in the pop-up window to confirm that you want to remove the download. This will remove the full downloaded audio Bible from your device.
