Apple Experts Reveal The 3 Simple Hacks That Can Clear iCloud Storage Space

Delete Photos in iCloud 

In a pure and perfect world with technology that never runs out of space, we would keep all of the photos in the world on our phones. But the unfortunate truth is that photos and videos take up a great deal of storage space. Before you delete anything, make sure you’ve backed up the files that you still want to keep. If you don’t use iCloud Photos, you can also delete photos and video straight from the camera roll on your phone. 

These are the steps you can take to delete photos in iCloud: 

Open the Photos app, then tap Library at the bottom of your screen.

Tap All Photos.

Tap Select, and choose one or more photos or videos that you want to delete.

Tap the Delete button and then tap Delete Photo.

Delete Texts and Attachments 

How many texts have you read and just kept hanging out on your phone? You may even have a number of attachments that take up space and are giving you back little in return (you likely don’t even know they’re on your phone).

To delete a message or attachment, Apple suggests following these tips: 

In a message conversation, touch and hold the message bubble or attachment that you want to delete.

Tap More.

Tap the Delete button, then tap Delete Message. If you want to delete all messages in the thread tap Delete All, in the upper-left corner. Then tap Delete Conversation.

You can also delete multiple attachments and save time by taking these steps: 

In a message conversation, tap the contact's name at the top of the screen.

In the Photos section, tap See All.

Tap Select, tap the images you'd like to delete.

Tap Delete, then tap Delete Attachment to confirm.
