Open the stored-audio list
In ABC listen, select Your Listen and then Downloads. Use this list when the purpose is freeing device storage. A programme page can still be useful for streaming or finding another episode, but it is not the provider’s documented list for reviewing all saved local audio. Start with the phone or tablet whose storage you actually want to manage.
Use the platform’s deletion gesture
ABC’s deletion instructions say to tap and hold the podcast on iOS or swipe from right to left on Android, then select Delete. Choose the intended item before confirming. The two gestures are alternatives for different mobile interfaces, so a missing long-press menu on Android is not, by itself, evidence that the app cannot remove its downloads.
Download a replacement deliberately
Find an eligible episode from Home, Your Listen or Search, then use the download button beside its description. ABC says that button changes when the transfer succeeds. Check for that completed state before expecting disconnected listening. A tap that merely starts the transfer should not be treated as completion, particularly when preparing several long episodes for a journey.
Keep the content qualification in view
ABC says licensing prevents some listen content from being downloaded. If the wanted replacement lacks the documented control, deleting another file does not establish that the missing item becomes eligible. Use the completed Downloads list for the offline selection and the programme’s normal player for connected listening. This workflow changes the local listening collection rather than promising a permanent copy of every radio programme.
