Find large videos before clearing storage

A few recordings can take more room than many photos. Smart Cleaner helps surface large videos so you can review the files that matter to your cleanup.

Review size and meaning together

A long recording may be worth keeping even when it is the biggest item. Play it, check that it is not your only copy and decide whether you need the full-length original. Avoid making a deletion decision from size alone.

Choose a suitable action

Keep irreplaceable originals. For a video you want in a smaller form, consider compression and compare the result before changing the source. For an accidental or unneeded recording, inspect the selection before confirming removal. Moving a copy elsewhere is useful only after you verify it opens.

Start with a short session

Review one or two large items, then return to your storage overview. Do not mix the sizes of overlapping categories into an expected savings total: one large video might also appear in a similarity group. Available on-device space and file size are not always the same, especially with optimized cloud storage.

The website and app have different access

This website cannot enumerate your camera roll. Use the app with permission for library review, or follow our manual guide. The web planner suggests an order based on your choices without pretending to measure the device.

Good to know

How much space will I save?

That depends on the files and which originals you retain. Review actual storage afterward instead of relying on a promised amount.
