So you flew too close to the sundownloading app after app, recording hi-res video, binging podcastsand now youre faced with the dreaded Storage Almost Full pop-up on your iPhone.Its OK: we can handle this together. Here are three extremely expeditious tricks you can use to clear out the clutter and get back to a carefree life of digital hoarding.Detach from big message attachmentsEvery hilarious GIF. Every video of someones kid skiing. Every duck-faced selfie. Theyre all taking up space, and youll almost never need to revisit them.Free up a metric pant-load of storage in mere moments by heading to Settings > General > iPhone Storage > Review Large Attachments (you may need to tap Show All to see it.All your space hoggers will be presented, from the largest to smallest. Hit the Edit button and eradicate with extreme prejudice.Ive found this to be the best way to clear up a ton of cruft quickly. Id say your mileage may vary, but it wont. Weve all been clinging to this stuff for way too long.Intelligently offload unused (or seldom used) appsFinally, a useful application of artificial intelligence.Yes, my family and I elf ourselves one day every December. No, the app doesnt need to be taking up space the rest of the year.For all the one-off, long forgotten, and rarely used apps, theres Apples offloading feature. It doesnt get rid of apps entirely it just gets rid of them until you need to use them again.Navigate to Settings > General > App Store > Enable Offload Unused Apps (way at the bottom) to mothball them.When you need them again, one tap brings them back, complete with all your settings.Send your photos to the cloudI realize the irony of suggesting you pay for cloud storage to house all the photos that are taking up too much space on your phone, but the fact of the matter is that at some point, youre eventually going to have so many photos they wont even fit on your phone anyway.For that, theres iCloud, and shelling out $3 a month for 200 GB of storage isnt outrageous.Now, that doesnt mean you should let a bunch of other digital junk take up too much iCloud space. If you think of it primarily as a photo backup tool and work to keep your other files pruned, pared, and organized, youll be able to optimize your storage.Speaking of optimization, head to Settings > Apps > Photos > Optimize iPhone Storage to enable the feature.Youll need to enable the iCloud Photos toggle if it isnt already, at which point the Optimize iPhone Storage Option will appear.This keeps a smaller copy of each photo on your phone itself, while housing its higher-resolution version in iCloud. If you take a lot of photos, this is a great way to keep their respective storage sizes in check.
