My RC Pro is telling me that I need 556mb additional storage to install the latest firmware. I have all of my flight logs synced online and have 996mb shown in "clear aircraft flight record cache" and 3043mb in "clear local log."

Am I safe to delete these to install the firmware?

I will but what about my question? If I clear them, will DJI still be able to get the actual logs from my aircraft and RC Pro?

Hi there. Thank you for reaching out. Generally, the firmware update will occupy about 2-6 GB of local storage space. It depends on the size of the current firmware version. Before updating the firmware, it is recommended to have a reserve of 6 GB in the DJI RC Pro. The DJI RC Pro firmware update involves firmware in the aircraft and the DJI RC Pro remote controller. Generally, 2-3 GB is required. In addition, considering the cache released during installation, it is reasonable to reserve 6 GB of space. Thank you.

Don't mean to hijack this thread, but I'm in the same position as @ddubluw..I need to delete and find storage space for the new Mavic 3 Pro Cine firmware… '‘additional 3513 MB required for update’’  It was initially suggested I needed to clear the cache so reluctantly deleted the Aircraft Flight Record Cache and cleared the Local Log, but this only equated to 198MB and 729MB respectively. I gather this is still backed up in my flight logs and checked before deleting. If I go to Storage 90% is used up with 28,67GB out of 32GB. Internal storage indicates 3,42GB free. The main usage here is 15GB for ‘Other Apps’ whatever apps these are, as I was not aware of loading any intentionally and 1,5GB for Files and System 12GB. I have also dowloaded all the video files from the internal 1TB card and have now formatted this.
I would be grateful for a layman’s explanation on what is going on here and how the storage works between the drone itself and the controller and then how best I create or find enough storage space for the latest firmware ? It’s confusing knowing what is using up internal storage on the controller or the drone itself ? I regret having deleted the Aircraft Record Cache and cleared the Local log so would want to avoid doing this every firmware update. I gather one can also us an external mini SD card as part of the storage back for non video files ? Should I permanently keep a mini SD card in the drone for this additional storage ?

As regards my Waypoint History, I was pleased to see this is hopefully still there and the flight details were not deleted when the cache was cleared, however the video cache files or thumbnails are missing so I have no picture reference any more in the first History box. Question - how do I now match or work out which programmed flight or waypoint flight is what if there is no video or map reference in the first box or can i retrieve this from the stored flight log ? I would like to return to the same spot and fly the same shots in the dry season to complete various seasonal lapse time shots still preserved in my waypoint history.  

Lastly, when I do the firmware upgrade and presumably then loose all my settings is there a way of storing these first say on the mini SD card to avoid having to manually put them all in again ? Any assistance here would be most appreciated please …
