jjon99 said:I have over 200 diagnostics built up, mostly low memory warnings, and I'd like to be rid of them. Some of the reports in themselves run to several pages of data, and I can't afford to have these diagnostics hanging around, consuming my "hard disk". ( I do love Aweditorium, but it's a real disk chewer.)
I asked at my local "Genius" Bar, and was told there is no way to delete these diagnostics, other than a full factory reset, and I'm not brave enough to try that. Seems a very drastic action to have to take to remove these reports. I have the Don't Send option ticked, by the way.
If I've understood the chronology correctly, Diagnostics and Usage was an "improvement" introduced in 5.0. Hopefully a future upgrade will introduce a further improvement to delete or disable diagnostics.
The low memory problem seems to be primarily due to Safari, again something introduced by iOS 5? The cure for low memory, I was told at the Bar, is to jiggle-close Apps frequently, but I've had the problem with just three Apps open, one of them being Safari. So not poor user maintenance I think (besides, I thought there was no need for user maintenance on Apple devices) but a problem with 5.0 - either iOS should sort out low memory itself without a diagnostic report, or Safari should not be gobbling up so much RAM.
How do we get Apple to address issues like this in future versions?
If you jailbreak your iPad, you can buy iFile and go through all of your old files. Whenever you delete an app, it doesn't actually delete the files. Diagnostic and Usage files aren't as large as you think they are, it is the older files from apps and music you've deleted. Hoppe this helped.
