Here maps Android - problem deleting maps
Discussion
Condensed version:
Here maps won't delete my saved maps. Neither will uninstalling the app.
They remain on the SD card but disappear from the Here list.
Is this right?
Full version:
I've been using Here as my main satnav for a while now and I really like it. I installed it on a Sony Xperia Z2 with KitKat on it and have since updated the phone to Lollipop.
Since I downloaded it about 6-8 months ago I've just used it offline with the entire Europe area map stored on my micro SD card but I decided to free up space and just download European maps as and when I need them.
So I tried deleting the map through the app but it just wouldn't do it. It disappeared from the list of maps and made about 20MB free.
Uninstalling the app also wouldn't do it.
Eventually I put the SD card into my laptop and deleted the whole thing that way. It was around 14.5GB.
Can this be right/normal? I would've thought it should delete residual files when you uninstall it. And also that the app should be able to do it - if you want a map of Albania just for one week that you're spending there with a hire car, why keep it forever?

ETA - I see what you mean now. I uninstalled it because i thought it was rubbish compared to Waze, so no bug report needed!

Routing and traffic updates, then rerouting around traffic. Waze did it a lot better, but I guess that's because it's designed to. t about Here maps? I really like it and have used it all over the world with amazing success.As a basic navigation it was fine but missed quite a few ways to avoid traffic and take a better route.
