Some iPhone users have reported that even though they don't use Apple Maps and the app is in an offline state, Apple Maps' documents and data still occupy a significant amount of storage space on their devices.

If you're experiencing the same issue, this article will guide you through 4 steps to remove Apple Maps documents and data.
