How to delete the files for a title in the OverDrive app without returning it

The OverDrive app has limited availability. If you can't use the OverDrive app, we encourage you to try our newer reading app, Libby. Get started with Libby on Android, iOS, Fire tablets, or in your browser.

If you're having trouble with a title or want to free up space on your device, you can delete the files for a title from the OverDrive app without returning it to your library.
