Checking and deleting device storage
Use your device to check its storage
Go to Settings > General > [Device] Storage. You may see a list of recommendations for optimising your device's storage, followed by a list of installed apps and the amount of storage each one uses. Tap an app’s name for more information about its storage. Cached data and temporary data may not be counted as usage.
In the detailed view you can:
- Offload the app, which frees up storage used by the app, but keeps its documents and data.
- Delete the app, which removes the app and its related data.
- Depending on the app, you might be able to delete some of its documents and data.
If your device is almost full and can't free up space, you may receive a Storage Almost Full alert. If you see this alert, you should check the storage recommendations or offload some less-used content such as videos and apps.
