iPhone System Data includes "caches, logs, and other resources currently in use by the system." That's why clearing the caches on your iPhone is a good place to start. A cache is a bunch of files apps use to speed things up. For example, cached files in Safari speed up the web browser. Apps like Safari cache files so they don't need to download them over and over again.
Many apps, including Snapchat, Twitter, and TikTok have caches that you can clear to free up System Data on your iPhone.
Removing unnecessary saved files, like dictionaries, fonts, and Siri voices, will also help clear iPhone System Data.

How much storage space is âSystem Dataâ taking up on your iPhone? Don't forget to share this video with your friends!
12.57gbđ
4.94 gb
15gb, I'm Jailbroken :|
6.14 gb
It was 17GB until I went thru 16 steps. Now at 7GB. Thanks
Thank you for putting this video together, it was really helpful. Haha, I was kind of going crazy over how much my storage wouldnât stop filling up despite all the photos I deleted and after following along in your video I cleared a whole 7 GB from my systems data and have enough space to take care of sorting all my memories and photos. Thanks again! Huge help.
Thanks, never really thought about it that much! Went from 10.41GB to 6.05GB
Finally I found your channel. It is very helpful đ My system data from 33.38gb down to 7.93gb đ đ
Very helpful video. My iPnone is going on 6 years old and it was limping along getting storage full messages often. Following several steps in the video, I was able to free up 25% of my overall storage. Thanks!
I also noticed that permanently deleting videos and photos from the recently deleted tab in gallery can clear a lot of space from system data
HEIC files are larger than what you think, hence the great relief of storage after deleting some.
This is hilarious⊠I did almost everything you said, & my system data went from 15 to 17 gbs lol.
Lol
Mine went from 11 to 12 đ
Mine went from 1 to 2.22 gb đ
Itâs at 8.65 gb now đ
Literally a day before the unedited comment
Mine went from 13GB to 27GB
Mine went from 18 to 21
This is the only video that has actually helped me. Following this video I cleared 80gb of space. Updating my ipad is what ended up helping. Thank you
This really works a LOT better compared to these types of videos other content creators I have made. I must have had 3GB of Siri caches because now I have 20.1 GB of total storage used. No one else has said this
Love you guys that was so helpful went from 20.52gb to 2.99gb
Fron 18 GB to 6GB.. This is THE guide !!! Doing this every 3 months from now on!
Did this for my iPad and got back 2gb of space. Great. Thanks guys! Really appreciated the advice.
This worked really good for me and fantastic clearing data. I must have had a lot of things using up my storage.
Loved it all except for Enable Devel Mode...you really didn't explain how to get to that ...or so I thought. Or perhaps my IPhone 11 doesn't have it...wasn't sure where you went to access it. Thanks for all the other great tips! Great video.
Great tips thanks! I cleared out 8 gigs in just the first few steps. I notice the system data number at the bottom didnât change much but along the color coded bar at the top it sure did.
You guys are awesomeđđ». Thanks for all the reliable infođ
"App Privacy Report" is super helpful for finding domains to block with local DNS profiles.
THIS WAS SO HELPFUL!! So, my iPad storage was 118 / 127 and the thing that was mostly taking up the space was system data! It took up around 70 GB, and after doing stuff from the video, my storage is now 63 / 127. Thank you :))
Thanks for the tips and suggestions. I went from 18.6 to 17.5. Not bad, huh?
I have a tip for you-when heading back to the main page of settings, press and hold, and scroll down with the same finger to settings. Instead of pressing multiple times, you just press, hold and release. CONGRATS!
Cheers
Thank you so much for helping! My Gb went from 17GB to 5.66GB!
Thanks you helped so much!
When I cleared the settings for Safari, it went from 6.6gb to 1.7gb! Thanks! Iâll try to remember to do that once in awhile!
My system data was up to 40 GB đ and I didnât want to reset my phone so what I did was offload frequently used apps that way I keep all my settings. I didnât have a ton of pictures, videos, or files eating up storage but offloading a few of those frequently used apps reduced it down to 5gb of system data. Idk which app it was that was taking a lot of system data since I offloaded a bunch of apps, gave it 10 minutes then reinstalled those apps.
how about for macbooks? hope you can do a similar video for macbooks to clear system data
You guys are lid savers! All I had to do was reset my iPad, I had 29.1GB out of 32 GB used and when I held the power button and restarted it I Had 13.2 out of 32 GB
this video was helpful.. i had 3.9gb and it went down to 2.1gb
I followed your first five steps and my system data INCREASED 2.5 GB. So thanks. :)
sameđ
Same
Same lol
Thank you!! Only did the first 5 and went from 50.2 GB out of 64 to 39.7 GB!!
50?? and I thought my 30 was bad..
@@tessacalzone yeah lol before that it was at 63
Thank you for your informative video. I am surprised why apple doesnât provide clear catche option while Android provides for clear system catche as well as for each app also.
Thanks to David and David! Useful information!
Everything worked great except the Xcode part. I tried to do it from my DELL laptop and it didnât work.
My phone seems to react faster, thanks! đ
I have an SE2. For some reason, after accomplishing most of these changes, my system data doubled to 8.59 GB!
Mine too
Thank you so much! My system data went from 12 GB down to 5.69! THANKS
Invaluable information. Thanks! đđ
You guys are fantastic and with such clear presentation too.
This was terrifically helpful. I followed all the steps, except the Developer and Restore suggestions, and I successfully got my System Data from 5.6G to 17.9G.
You said you got your data storage even bigger that isnât a good thing
@@ronthorn3
Yes, it more than tripled. My first sentence was meant sarcastically.
Same here, I started out with just over 9GâŠ.. and after following all these steps EXCEPT Developer - it went up to over 11G
Looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool
sarcasm doesn't travel well on text đ the wit, more often than not, falters when clarified and results in a sarchasm
I always just waiting for a CZcamsr to make this video thanks đ I really appreciate
Thank you so much! I went from 78 GB of system data to 8,7 GB
My iOS 14.6 doesn't let me delete voices, there's an iCloud icon and the size, but zero clarity if the size taken on the phone or on the iCloud, swiping does nothing.
@Danny Reed Yeah that'll be it, but their video just assumed we all had all voices on our phones, you have to choose to download them in the first place! Maybe that's what the, 'I tried lots of voices' comment was about, still, not very clear.
As an aspiring programmer and computer nerd, I can tell you a lot of the tips given in this video clear very small amounts of data, irrelevant amounts that barely put a dent in your storage.
And often, cache is managed automatically by the OS. The whole purpose of cache is to store constantly used or displayed data (like images and other types of frequently rotating content) so that it wonât have to constantly re-fetch that data from its original source. Do you think that a competent programmer would allow a userâs cache to keep content that simply isnât being used? Itâs going to dump it and replace it with new content along the line and a multibillion dollar company like Apple is obviously going to have people smart enough to do this. The only time cache is really beneficial to clear is when a cache-leak happens, this is where a programs cache gets clogged because the system wasnât smart enough to see the data as junk and delete it. But on most modern programs? You donât really have to worry about it. Unfortunately, large system data is often the result of files outside of the users full control within the walled-garden, forcing a user to factory reset to really make a difference in this data.
The problem with apple is that system date can and will take up 30 to 100gb of storage making your iPad full and no more room.
Forget this long talk man, clearing of cache is necessary. I understand youâre a programmer but do you know what it means to have an app on your phone that has taken about 7gb of your phoneâs space??? Lol
@@namata305third party app cache is a different story because some apps are going to have cache-leaks and take up ridiculous amounts of storage; OS cache isnât a big issue because appleâs developers make stable enough software and frequent cache leaks probably wouldnât make it past iOS betas.
This videoâs main guide is clearing âSystem dataâ, aka the collection of files being used by the OS that Apple keeps extremely vague to the average user. Junk app data depends on the specific app and developer to fix, the user can reinstall the app or clear its cache if the developer included the feature as a quick fix but that cache will just pile up again on future usage if the app developer doesnât patch the cache leak.
Is the app itself takes up a lot of space, thatâs the package data and itâs necessary for the app to run unless the developer optimizes their app to take up less space, if the large data is contained within âdocuments and dataâ; the situation can typically be temporarily or permanently remedied by the user with the tips mentioned above.
I'm getting small decreases in data used each step along the way, and these guys aren't informing people of the downsides at all.
This video doesn't seem like something to do to speed up your phone; it's what to do if you absolutely have no more space and need a few more GB. I stopped watching a quarter-way through, after being told to swipe each voice in Spoken Content and delete them one-by-one. I intentionally never did listen to all of them. I might have 10MB of unnecessary files there. Geesh!
@@GregConquest the biggest gripe I have with the video is that they claim they imply theyâre advice is better and that many others have trash advice, and while they have some good advice here, a lot of it isnât as effective as they paint it out to be.
And they donât give the best variant of that advice either, for example; Clearing safari cookies and history will not only get rid of the unnecessary cookies but also sign you out of all your accounts and clear your history in the process; thereâs a better way to do this that they donât mention.
You can avoid the hassle of getting rid of your history and having to resign into all your accounts by going to safari>advance>website data and simply clearing the data you know is junk. It gives you more insight and choice on what your deciding to delete in addition to letting you know what websites spam your safari data in the first place.
Or Clearing messages, they want you to just get rid of your convos with other people, the messages themselves donât take up much at all, the attachments are what eat up storage, the better action would be to just save the images you receive and want to keep and then delete the duplicate copy from the messages app, turn on optimized photos of photos take up too much and you have the iCloud storage to hold them.
And then thereâs downright useless advice like tapping 10 times to clear App Store cache. That barely takes up anything! Itâll clear up a few megabytes but the cache will just refill with new content anyway, and as I said before, itâll delete content it doesnât need anymore on its own!
Overall thereâs a lot of advice that could be useful if done correctly but also a lot of advice that is just a downright placebo and exists just to extend the length of the video.
The best tip was the last one and itâs a factory reset and restoring your data; this ensures built up junk will clear and the surviving data will be the most visible and relevant data. From there, take preventive measures and be more in tune with how you use your iPhone to actually learn whatâs eating up space over time.
Is there a way to delete a group of attachments or do I have to delete one at a time? Great channelsđđ»đđ»đđ»
So much helpful †Thanks buddy !
This is so great, important and helpful.đThank you so much for your work, guys.đ
Everything was good and I was following every step⊠Until they told to open the multitasking interface and close apps. I then stopped and closed the video.
Thank you so much! It helps to lower my system data.
Thank you were doing this and now I think I know how what to do when my iPhone is full of storage
Nice tricks, canât believe I was trickedđ. My system data increased from 7gb to 9gb
so basically just don't use your phone... :D
I followed a few tips and it started at 8.50 then jumped to 14.6đź
I went from 16.31 to 5.29. Thank you DavidsđđŒ
Me from 9 to 12.5.6 đą
@@soyamchhetr đźWhy?? What happened??
Mine to 4 to 6 sueing them đ its still raising
Mine went to 5gb to 21gb whatđđ€
WHY IS IT GETTING HIGHER đđđ
It works I did did almost everything expect syncing it with a computer and my system update went from 79.55GB to 8GBđ„ł
Please show us how to clear the system data on a Mac! Would love to see a video on that.
System takes 16 gb of storage
And ios 17 whopping 10.9 gb
Howw ?? How do i clear it.
Thanks you so much
Thank u so much! I was clueless about this
Geez, Thankyou so much. Mine went from almost 75GB to 10GB :)
Lol, my storage numbers went up when I tried to delete voices. Which it would not let me. Started with 7.26 gig and afterwards now 8.1 gig.đą
lmao same
That's because apple is playing you . Android we don't have this problem. Apple when you delete thing it adds it to other system storage
i like my history. i forget things the phone remembers.
@Jesus is Muslim idgaf
take a flipping hike
Fruitfully Grateful.đđŸ this works. Satisfactory results only.đđŸđ
Got rid of 8 GB, Thank you so much!
Hack no 5: somehow I am not able to delete the voices. Swipping doesn't trigger the delete button. Any idea?
Nor am I!
Same here
You can only delete downloaded voices. You can see which voices arenât downloaded by the cloud icon on the right with a down facing arrow.
@@ZyliceLiddell I ended up downloading a few voices unintentionally while trying to do above.
Same, unable to delete the voices and unintentionally changing the selected voice. Lol
You can long press and select settings..đ I think apple should revamp the settings app..itâs all over the place now..
Thank you so much it used to be to be 73.54 gb and i did all the things you showed and i updated my iOS now I have 5gb đźâ€â€â€â€â€â€â€ I will definitely subscribe
Yo this is working so good.. I went from 8gb to 5gb right now on iOS system data
So I am finding out that a lot of this does not apply to me being an iPhone 8+ user. I don't have most of these features.
Same, I got stuck with half, but hey! half is half and better than nothing :D
I have iPhone 8 his do I know if itâs plus or not?
Bruh I went from 24.79GB to 25.19GB đđđ
Hi guys. Love your videos. Very helpful and easy to follow. One question. Do I need an antivirus program on mu iPhone 13? Thanks
I went through this video and followed the recommendations three times since this video first dropped. My system data was at 202.49 gigs. I gave up and did the system restore. System data is at a manageable fluctuating 3.86- 4.87 gigs
Whatâs a number thatâs okay for system data? Mines 12.23. I feel like thatâs a good number to be at.
Iâve 20 đ
Same to me 12gb didnât think of went into developer mode cuz i that has to do with installing beta software into our phone which i am not ok with đ
Mine over 100 gigs on my ipad
@@User-le1hs bro i got 31 đ
Great stuff guys always great videos thank you
You all get me to delete so much stuff I actually need itâs crazyâŠ..
I have deleted 30gb of data on my phone from photos, but photos app is still occupying 30gb space.
Last month I had 113gb system data on phone, and had to do a factory reset, but itâs not possible to do a reset every other month.
Reinstall iOS using iTunes on computer
Your channeling has helped me so much. I still have the Iphone 11. Should I trade it in for the 14 or, wait for the 16?
Wow, I just did tip #2 and my System Data storage amount increased!
do NOT listen to these people past step 1, everything but that step made mr storage go up
U messed up
Hack #1: dont buy eye phone
Thank you so much for this, so very helpful!!
Awesome video. Thanks a ton. Would be great if you can do the same for clearing the system data on a mac mini
I had 20gb of system data and now i have 5. Thank you so much!
Thank you. At 75 I feel like Iâm starting school over from scratch. Now since I upgraded to the new 16.whatever, my battery went from lasting three days to lasting 24 hours. It dropped over 30% while I slept. Wish I would have never done the system upgrade???
Hands down the best video on the subject.
Thanks guys u are amazing â€â€â€ love from India. And thank u so much for your help u both of u đđđđ
I have to disagree with 12:18 I experienced that, I restored a backup from a jail broken iPhone to a new one and system data was there in the new phone causing bugs.. Apple suggested me not restore from the backup and to do a fresh install to avoid the corrupted data import.
Can you guys do another more in-depth video on how to clear out all those installed voices we don't need? I'm sure my navigation app doesn't need Turkish and Indonesian voices to direct me up I-25.
I just went from 72 to 24.5, thankyou!
thank you for this video, it really helps molwer my system data
this worked wonders for me! thanks a bunch guys
I have been doing each step to aid in my phone memory, step by step. I have yet to see a difference. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
I had about 7.64 GB of system data and when I got to the step to delete text messages after 30 days and then I went back to see what my storage was and looked at system data, it was up to almost 14 GB.
Clearing Safari data & cookies was good for me. People using Tidal also need to be aware that app may be caching every song they stream as a video file due to a weird bug. Need to remove and reinstall the app regularly to clear that cache data.
That apple cache helps somewhat. I was at 21.72 and followed the app store cache and got 21.38
This is very helpful. I might finally be able to update my aunts 16gb iPad Air 2. We deleted almost every app trying to update that thing. đ Gonna give her a call to try this out.
Update manually using a PC. Itâll allow you to do it even with no free space available.
Great info. Added more space to iPhone storage.
With memory and disc cleaning app and this video it does everything more mines a 1 tb 14 pro max max but I store a lot between this video and a cleaning app it frees up a lot try it
Thank you so much! I saved 9.8gb!!!
What if you no longer have a laptop or desktop? How do we do backups or flash drives? I apologize if that sounds silly. đ
Thanks guys just cleared a bunch of storage on my iPhone
My system data was almost 40GB and my iPhone started removing apps because the storage was full. I couldn't understand why after deleting nearly everything & updating it, until I saw the System Data. I couldn't clear it no matter what I tried, so I started Googling solutions with no real results and went searching on CZcams. This video brought my System Data down to 9.5GB! I have so much memory now. Seriously, THANK YOU for this video & the easy step-by-step way to locate and do everything on my own! You saved my iPhone!
I recently ran out of memory on my iphone 6s while recording a mass. I switched over to FB livestream to finish, uploaded the recorded to youtube and deleted the video. I cleaned it up some and had gotten the system data down to 4.06 and then did as you recommend on this video. Now my system data is up to 6.01 gb. What could have caused the increase? Thank you.
Been clearing out more videos, restarted phone, and system data is now up to 7.09 when it was 4.06. :(
The most important thing these guys say as far as Iâm concerned anyways, and this info is absolutely correct, essential to understand and hugely important!!!! Is an iCloud back up does NOT contain all that horrible system data that nobody needs or wants, it frees up tons of storage doing a full factory reset and using iCloud or ya Mac to restore from a backup!!!! Thatâs THE main / best way to create storage and itâs super easy to do. These guys are the only ones who actually make this point clear, coz as they said loads of other utubers have absolutely got it wrong and do not understand what iCloud backs up and doesnât!!! So many people online make this specific issue over complex for god knows what reason or they just donât have the correct info. Anyhoo these guys are right re this!!!!! I just did mine and it all worked beautifully and created TONS of storage!!! So happy..
