iPhones have more and more storage, which allows you to have many more applications, photos and videos on it. However, this is not an unlimited resource, so we must manage it responsibly, especially data that is difficult to delete. In this post, we are going to see some solutions to eliminate Other data from the system and that can give us more than one headache.
In settings of your iPhone
If you want to know how you have distributed the storage of your iPhone, you have to go to System Settings and in configuration click on the storage space. In this, the space occupied by photos, videos, applications and the system itself usually appears, but there is a section that says System data that is very difficult to eliminate. Let’s see some solutions.
Simple solutions
We are going to start with some actions that are very easy to do and that can recover a couple of extra gigabytes. First, from the Safari app in Settings and click on clear history and data. In the event that you use other browsers, you can do it from Chrome or your default browser.
We can also clear Safari data. From the same tab mentioned above, we go to the “website data” option and once inside, we can see the list of how much data the websites are collecting from us and how much space it is taking up. Along with this, it is also a security measure, since we prevent personalized advertising from reaching us.
Within the storage space, “advice” appears that the iPhone itself gives us to eliminate secondary information and save space on the iPhone. These recommendations are very easy to use, so it is interesting to apply them even if you have memory to spare.
We cannot ignore one of the easiest ways to eliminate residual information or “cache”, specifically, we are referring to system updates , which do a complete cleaning of the device, eliminating a lot of information. Updates not only mean a leap forward in new features and functions, but also clean up your iPhone.
Delete everything dispensable
We can also delete all the information that is dispensable to us and that can take up space without us being aware of it. Specifically, we mean all Safari tabs, especially if we have many tabs open. We have the same situation with the messages from the iMessage application, as well as the emails from the inbox. The cache that is generated in applications such as Spark or Mail is not as easy to delete as in other applications. To do this, what you have to do is delete your email account and re-enter it. In this way, we remove a lot of unnecessary information.
It is also recommended to take a quick look at the photos app to delete all the memories that you do not want to have, be it photos that did not turn out well, screenshots or videos that you have already edited and have in iCloud. Remember that all the information you delete is not deleted automatically, but stays in another “deleted” tab for a while , so you have to delete the information there to recover space quickly.
