In iOS 13, it was possible to delete the unused Siri Voices from Accessibility | Spoken Content.

Under iOS 14, the voice storage management appears to be completely automatic. Here's the screenshot from the latest iOS 14.5 beta:

As you can see, unused Voice 1 and Voice 4 are using nearly 1 GB of storage. No more edit button. I cannot hold click or swipe to trigger the delete option.

That's not all. If I navigate to other languages and voices, many are preinstalled. To be fair, these preinstalled voices appear to be very low fidelity version that probably aren't using much space. But I find it baffling that I cannot uninstall downloadable enhanced or Siri voices.

Am I missing something? Is it at all possible to delete these very large unused voices?
