Abstract
Systems and methods are described for managing local and cloud storage space for a plurality of media assets. The media guidance application may detect that a command was received to delete a first media asset from storage. In response to detecting the command, the media guidance application may determine a viewing pattern for the first media asset associated with a subset of users in a plurality of users, where the subset of users consumed the first media asset. The media guidance application may retrieve viewing commands associated with a second media asset performed by the subset of users, where the second media asset is related to the first media asset. The media guidance application may determine whether the viewing commands satisfy the viewing pattern. And in response to determining that the commands satisfy the viewing pattern, the media guidance application may delete the second media asset from storage.
