Apple should add a feature to delete cache files like unnecessary data
It’s more helpful than offload app.
Bro the speed at which I clicked this😭💀
We have all been here. XD
Am you rn
I’m a little surprised you didn’t address how to lower the infamous “OTHER” (the huge light gray bar at the end of your storage layout) that everyone has to google how on earth to lower on their iPhones.
Offloaded less than 2GB and freed up almost 90GB. Nice
It was smart to avoid talking about the dreaded ‘system data’
There is no recommendations section shown. Only the list of apps.
Clear, simple, and very helpful. Thank you.
Ppl who have noticed that the apple adds time is 9:41 AM and the time never changes 💀💀💀
Thanks I definitely Needed This 🙏
Ain’t no way I deleted 1000 photos from recently deleted and I saves 700 Mb💀
Howwwww
Thank you Apple for the awesome video!
This was the best, thank you.
So helpful.
Please make a video showing how we can back up data from iPhone, or iPad to a local laptop, MacBook or physical storage like pen drive or hard disk
I managed to do it, but it required some tinkering via Mac terminal. Now i can backup my iPhone’s 200GB data to 1TB external SSD. Life is better with terminal 😆
U can try to google it bro. Basically we ask terminal to create a Symbolic Link in Backup folder n this symlink will point the backup folder to external drive
I do not know why I will spend so much money on a phone that stresses operationally at every turn
Useful video.
This was very helpful, thanks for sharing.
Dang!
Didn’t know garage band took up that much storage!
ummm I think the most crucial for me is system data..... just saying 🤷♂️
Need tips for deleting System data in iPhone Storage without having to restore the iPhone.

Just updated to iOS17 on my iPad Pro M2, my apple Magic Keyboard would always stop & start CZcams, movies etc by pressing the space bar now it is only working sporadically. Also, it won’t change a folder name on the home screen, have to use iPad screen keyboard instead. Apple please help!
Thank
*Just the video I needed* 😅
I do all this, but what I REALLY want to know is how to remove that SYSTEM DATA noted in grey. It's builds up and gets quite large over time. The only way I get rid of it is by backing up my phone on my PC via iTunes and the do a restore via that backup. There must be an easier way of acomplishing this without going through all that trouble?
Its a big problem. 🤦🏻♂️ I wish there was a solution for this.
My comment was deleted and kind of long so I’m not going to retype it all but basically I said the solution is to uninstall and reinstall an app you use a lot to remove cached data. It worked for me.
ios 17 automatically delete it
ios 17 does it mine was 19gb and when i install ios 17 it was down to 10gb @@sinanalp

My phone is dominated by iOS and data (the grey bars) I can’t get rid of it or reduce the bar size. They have become so large that it fills too much space.
I like to make videos on the iMovie app but it is getting harder to save onto my photo album in order to put them onto CZcams. Any tips?
Delete apps like fb, Twitter, snap, etc and reinstall. Also turn off your phone for 5 minutes that’ll clear some cache
It don’t have these things on my iPhone 😔😔
Bro's getting is ready for iOS 17 😂

Option delete on system data. 20 gb system data. i have an iPhone 64 gb…
Iphone warranty not support from service centre review very bad
What I am still at lost is eventhough I deleted photos from my iPhone Photi apps, the same photos are still there in my Mac’s Photo apps and/or iCloud. There must be a setting, if I delete any photos from any of the iCloud-backed devices, it will also delete its iCloud’s content too. We need that.
If you’re using iCloud Photos, when you delete a photo on one of your devices, it should be deleted on all of your devices that are signed in to your Apple ID and have iCloud Photos enabled. This article has some more information: s.apple.com/dE0a7u5g4A

How come when you delete a photo from photos app it says, “This photo will be deleted from iCloud Photos on all of your devices.”?
We can clarify on that alert. When you use iCloud Photos it syncs the photo to iCloud and to your other devices signed in with the same Apple ID with iCloud Photos enabled. Any action made to the photos, will be made across all devices.

as someone who has had to offload like all the apps on my iPad, this is not really accurate, i offload like a GB worth of apps and i'm still getting that stupid "your iPad storage is full" message, i love watching your videos but make them more accurate please.
Hello. If you’re having an issue with the storage on your iPad, we’d like to help.
Great job offloading those apps. Next, you’ll want to verify what the available storage is on your iPad, to verify you have enough for what you’d like to do.

For example if you need to update, or want to upgrade, you may need more space.
