And I haven't taken a flight or booked one for coming up to a year now. It all looks as it did before I cleared the storage.

But, it does mean all the recent searches have gone.

Quite what was in that 615MB I have no clue. Seems an awful lot to me for an app that is not used at the moment and hasn't been for almost a year.
Quoting myself here. So, I hadn't touched it since this post, I just checked now, the user data has gone from 1.5MB to 5.75MB. I have no clue what on earth may be creating that data as I have not been in the app since. It did update yesterday so I am going to delete the user data and start again to see what happens. I might even ask the internet to see if it knows how to see what it is gathering.
