Siri does not download any voices. You do it yourself.

No, when you plug your phone in, it downloads the Premium voice automatically, which wastes space.

I don't even see an option for deleteing or downloading the premium voice in Siri, how does one go about deleteing it?

you can't delete voices in siri. I think once you're connect to power and wifi then siri will download the premium voice. I know it uses a little more space but not a whole lot. theres nothing that can be done currently, I think.

Instead, you could do the following... Go into settings/general/accessibility/VoiceOver/speech, and under default dialect, choose a standard voice. Others are correct, there's nothing you can do about Siri downloading the hq voice. Besides, to my ear it sounds about a thousand times more like a real human being. The days of synthesizers sounding like robots are coming to an end I'm afraid.

Hi, I have found the salution:
Go into settings/general/accessibility/speech

Turn on speak selected text for now
Tap voices
Tap the language you use

Select enhanced quality, go into actions from rotor, then set the rotor to delete and double tap.
Then go back and turn off speak selected text.
And there you go, siri will not download the Premium voice anymore.

Greets; the premium voices are approximately 200megs. IF that is filling your phone then perhaps its time to remove some of the content on your device. In short, performance & quality should trump consumable data. Just saying...Rocker
