How to free up storage space on your iPhone or iPad | Apple Support

[@newecreator]

GarageBand always being the app being deleted in these videos.

[@Blitz01]

LOL WHY IS IT SO TRUE😂😂

[@fajarkurniawan9434]

Garage band and iMovie for me

[@sosorphorn]

Should have made an option to clear system data storage rather than having to reset factory settings in order to clear those storage which take up to several GB

[@biswanathpanda9646]

Why no cache deletion? Please add a simple option . When someone picks up my call a small haptic feedback will help me to know. To be practical I can’t always keep looking at phone while calling or put on speaker or burn my pocket for AirPods . A small haptic feedback lets me know someone picked my call so that while am talking to someone physically or doing some work and phone is in my hand I will instantly know with a small haptic feedback .It’s helps a lot.

[@tiohans3828]

Providing external storage is easier but this is apple

[@sharonann4016]

Why dont they have a "select all" button?

[@vignesh7774]

Wtf is System data(18GB) , how Tf to clear that useless shit

[@Siapa.301]

You can't. That system storage is like your house's walls, floors and furniture, that do take space but is a basic thing to have

[@djstuc]

the clue is in the name

[@veens.m]

It’s hilarious to see iOS & System Data on in this demo video occupy very less space then on my actual phone. 😂

[@AishaPutri-p1l]

Ty I needed this on my iPhone 8 Plus

[@HarishGowthamErd]

How to clean up the large chunk of system data ?

[@rohitkharche7562]

This could have been easy if they put a proper file system

[@vegetalno]

What about letting us clear the cache of system and apps? If you copy from Android and Jailbreaking community, at least make it right.

[@Jaceplays688]

Almost all of my apps are deleted and it stills want me to delete stuff that I barely have like that’s so stupid and annoying

[@RafaelFontanaOficial]

Aanother buy iCloud video.

[@schuylertoons6885]

Tysm, this helped me remove like 8 GB

[@PreciousJolongbayan]

how about in ios 18?

[@dr.mahmoudqaadan92]

in iPads with 64Gb storage the iOS and system data takes about 18Gb which means more than 28% of the storage.

[@childrenofmarz3639]

How do you get rid of applications?

[@llhh2752]

Posted earlier… please remove master photos after they’ve been folder under specific folders. No reason for duplication!

[@buriedbits6027]

Why not create an apple app to do this Apple?

[@shutup7134]

I just deleted nearly my whole life and it didn’t even make a dent to my storage I am doomed 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@rroman429]

You should give the storage that is taken like sistem data and os data as icloud storage to compensate or at least a disclaimer on the box because 128G isn’t 128G after you set up the device

[@TheCoolBill]

How did you free up that much storage by just deleting a 1,6 GB app?

[@HearMeLearn]

it's just an example to get the point across

[@MrFish04090]

I think it was from enabling iCloud Photo

[@powkhai]

0:48 , please help. recommendations won’t appear on my device (ip 13) since i update to ios 18 🙏🙏

[@yepachternaam565]

I can’t all so. Did you fikst it?

[@mohsinzahid4709]

Same problem

[@tpwk.hannah28]

me too

[@mohsinzahid4709]

Recommendations are not showing in my ios18

[@giggz3795]

Found it?

[@Bloweriscoolmc]

THANK YOU!

[@mamidmrcc]

Hey Apple👋 I have an iPad mini 5 and i don’t get the iPadOS 18 Final Release. Im on iOS 18 RC right now. Please help!

That's normal. The RC is the same as the public release of ios 18.

[@suddenlyacat]

You don’t. RC is the exact same as the actual release except for a few bugs or reduced features sprinkled around

[@madelinegrace1779]

Why isn’t there a “select all” option or “delete all”

[@Cozyasual]

Is this only on ios18? Bec i am not seeing this

[@mrcoolansh]

How can we clear system data?

[@DavidKen878]

System data is things like cache and anything else that doesn't fit into a category.

[@brianbedri2174]

Hello, my iPad backup is taking more than 8 hours and still hasn’t been completed and it drains my battery...

[@Capcut.editgod7392]

Did not help

[@zamimotret]

clear "recently deleted photos" on storgae setting isn't on ios 18

[@rebekahallen3933]

Ofc my settings look different no recommendations just Keeps telling me to try deleting apps but I already have deleted almost everything I use I feel bad that my parents bought me this $400 tablet I can’t even have 4 apps at a time I deleted so much and it still says to manage my storage I feel like they wasted their money because I can’t even download all my schooling stuff which is what the tablet was meant for but as you can see that ain’t happening

[@deminmax]

That doesn't work. I've just bought a new iphone 16. Updated to the latest firmware 18.0.1. Shot a 30min video in 4k log. Used 256Gb of space. Then deleted the video from photos app, and deleted from recently deleted folder in photos app. Now storage is full, I can't use the iphone. Reboots, changing date - nothing helps. No, I don't sync to icloud. What to do?

[@caraleecrary2403]

I purchased 50 GB to help with storage on my phone and it does not reflect that it’s actually holding anything. Very disappointing I do have an iPhone 11 which might be the issue and the cloud did absorb some of the extra but I don’t understand why messages keep getting deleted and I’ve cleaned literally everything and it still doesn’t work

[@sharonann4016]

Thank you =)

[@Pak.Shumë]

On storage / photos has not large video. nothing. only documents and data 38 gb on 13 pro with ios 18.1 beta 4…

[@MrHaydnSir]

maybe realise that improving the quality of photos and videos renders a base 128gb useless

[@vegetalno]

it's not going anywhere - because how will they upsell their cloud service then?! 😂😂

[@FranklinM-w2u]

I have Problems in my account.

[@AlaskaV3]

The audacity they have to sell us products that had at maximum 64 gigabytes is absurd. 64 GB isn’t enough for two big games (if you count genshin, codm, pubg, etc) like I have so much storage issues and this has been going on for 4 damn years.

[@abidemiobaolasodiq9180]

😮😮❤❤

[@caitcaora]

My iPad does not give ‘recommendations’. I feel like throwing this bloody iPad out the window. God how I hate technology!

[@luismiguelpino210]

Useless tutorial , on low storage devices (64gb) this is just pointless because between ios and system data your storage will be like almost 30% of the total, i just stopped updating on OS16.6 (ipad) i will never update again (i remember tried ipad OS17 and that was horrible , imagine ipad os18 LOL, i always loved apple for their operative system(IOS) But since ios and ipad OS17 they are becoming a JOKE , the amoung of bugs and the way the battery drain is just awful.....

[@Turkey00001]

Cool!
